Death due to cancer, by sex

Death rate of a population adjusted to a standard age distribution. As most causes of death vary significantly with people's age and sex, the use of standardised death rates improves comparability over time and between countries, as they aim at measuring death rates independently of different age structures of populations. The standardised death rates used here are calculated on the basis of a standard European population (defined by the World Health Organization). Detailed data for 65 causes of death are available in the database (under the heading 'Data').经标准年龄分布调整后的人口死亡率。由于绝大多数死因均随人群年龄与性别呈现显著差异，标准化死亡率（Standardised Death Rate）的应用可提升不同时期及国家间的死亡率数据可比性，因其旨在脱离人口年龄结构差异的影响测算死亡率水平。本次研究所使用的标准化死亡率，基于世界卫生组织（World Health Organization）定义的标准欧洲人口进行测算。本数据库的「数据」栏目下，可获取65类死因的详细统计数据。
