1.Introduction
Death rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a
population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically
expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of
1000) in a population of 1,000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population, or 0.95%
out of the total. It is distinct from morbidity rate, which refers to the number of individuals in poor
health during a given time period (the prevalence rate) or the number of newly appearing cases
of the disease per unit of time (incidence rate). The term "mortality" is also sometimes
inappropriately used to refer to the number of deaths among a set of diagnosed hospital cases for
a disease or injury, rather than for the general population of a country or ethnic group. This
disease mortality statistic is more precisely referred to as "case fatality rate". There are two death
rates ,
In regard to the success or failure of medical treatment or procedures, one would distinguish:
The early death rate, the total number of deaths in the early stages of an ongoing treatment, or in
the period immediately following an acute treatment.
The late death rate, the total number of deaths in the late stages of an ongoing treatment, or a
significant length of time after an acute treatment.
Considerable progress has been made in improving health over the past 100 years in Australia,
evidenced by substantial decreases in age-standardised mortality rates and increases in life
expectancy. The following improvements have contributed to the decline in death rates:
1. Improved understanding of environmental factors that affect health and the resulting
improvements to public infrastructure ( clean water supply, sewerage, sanitation, housing, and
improved food supply).
2.Improved understanding of health risk and beneficial factors, and improvement in general
education levels within the general population. These improvements have contributed to changes
in behaviour within the general community, resulting in reductions in the incidence of some
diseases. For example, understanding the association between respiratory diseases ( lung
cancer and emphysema) and tobacco smoking has led to anti-smoking campaigns, while
understanding exposure to the sun and risk of skin cancer has led to sun-safe campaigns. Also,
work safety and road safety campaigns and improvements in transport infrastructure have
reduced deaths due to injury.
2.Medical and surgical advances ( antibiotics, immunisation, blood pressure lowering drugs,
imaging equipment, surgical techniques) and improvements in access to medical and other
health services.
In my project I want to test how low can the mortality rate drop , I want to test the realation of the
mortality rate with different death causes like : Heartdisease ; Car accidents ; Alzheimer ; Suicide
and Cancer . I want to see how low the death rate can drop if we can decrease the number of
death , occurred from one of the causes listed before , to a minimum .
In this project I have chosen the U.S.A. death rate from 2007 as database , we will find the death
rate for cancer , heart disease , Alzheimer , car accidents and suicides for 100000 people in a
year for each state .

11.Conclusion
I would like to say that the mortality rate can be decreased , if we could reduce the
number of death occurred from the causes presented in this project to a minimum ,
but the difference wouldnt be very big .
Even though the decrease of the death rate can happen it would be very difficult in
our time , because diseases sprea much faster and our bodies are degrading a lot
because of the food we eat , the environment we live in is also harmfull , accidents
can always happen and many of them will end up with somebody dying .
In a perfect society the death rate can be decreased , but in order to achieve that
we have a lot of work ahead . Inspite of all the posibilites that the nowadays society
offers our life is in most of the times in our own hands , we can pretty much decide
when we will die by being carefull what we feed ourselves with , by changing the
environment when we decide to live in , by driving safely and by taking the proper
medication to sustain our health .
To sum up , I can say that we can control the death rate , but to do that would
require us to change a lot of nowdays society aspects , to take radical measures
against: pollution , unhealthy food , car accidents , the lack of proper equipement
and medication in hospitals , povertry and many more aspects that are encountered
at every step in the society we live in , which would be almost imposible to achieve
in the foresseable future .
