- Identify Health Priorities: By analyzing mortality data, epidemiologists can determine which diseases or conditions are the most significant threats to public health. - Monitor Trends Over Time: Tracking changes in mortality rates over time helps identify whether health interventions are effective or if new health threats are emerging. - Compare Between Populations: Mortality rates can be compared across different regions, countries, or demographic groups to identify disparities and target interventions where they are most needed. - Inform Policy and Planning: Mortality data informs public health policies, healthcare planning, and resource allocation.
