Mortality 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
