Deaths from Liver Disease

This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75) from Liver Disease, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages.

Most liver disease is preventable and much is influenced by alcohol consumption and obesity prevalence, which are both amenable to public health interventions.

Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data (where numbers are sufficient) so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates.

A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death. Low numbers may result in zero values or missing data.

本数据集揭示了因肝病（年龄低于75岁）导致的过早死亡情况，按性别划分，以三年移动平均数呈现数量和比率。大多数肝病是可预防的，其中许多受到酒精消费和肥胖普遍性的影响，这两者均适用于公共卫生干预措施。数据中展示了直接年龄标准化比率（DASR），在数据充足的情况下，以便能够直接比较不同地区之间的死亡率。DASR的计算方法是将年龄特定比率应用于标准（欧洲）人口，以抵消因不同人群中年龄结构差异而对粗死亡率可能产生的影响，从而实现比率间的直接比较。以死亡率为健康条件普遍性的代理存在局限性，因为死亡率可能无法全面反映地区的健康条件，因为健康状况不佳未必导致过早死亡。低数量可能导致零值或数据缺失。数据来源：健康改善与不平等办公室（OHID），公共卫生成果框架（PHOF）指标40601（E06a），数据每年更新。
