Standardized Death Rate for Population A is calculated using Population B's age structure as standard. This allows:
A. Direct comparison of crude death rates
B. Estimation of A's future population size
C. Calculation of A's fertility rates
D. Assessment of whether A's age-specific mortality is higher/lower than B's
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
By applying A's age-specific death rates to B's standard population, SDR isolates differences in mortality risk from differences in age composition, revealing true mortality level comparisons.
