Understanding and studying mortality is vital for several reasons:
Public Health Interventions: Identifying leading causes of death helps in targeting public health interventions effectively. Health Policy: Mortality data informs policymakers in creating health policies and allocating resources. Epidemiologic Research: Mortality studies contribute to broader epidemiologic research, helping to uncover risk factors and disease patterns. Health Disparities: Analyzing mortality rates can reveal disparities among different population groups, aiding in addressing health inequities.
