What are the Challenges in Measuring Mortality and Morbidity?
Several challenges complicate the accurate measurement of mortality and morbidity:
Data Quality: Incomplete or inaccurate data can lead to biased estimates. Underreporting: Certain diseases or deaths may be underreported due to stigma or lack of diagnosis. Global Comparisons: Differences in data collection methods and healthcare systems can make international comparisons difficult. Temporal Changes: Shifts in diagnostic criteria or disease definitions over time can affect trends.
