A limitation of using crude rates for comparison is that the groups may have different population characteristics. For example, using crude mortality rates for stroke in Florida compared to crude mortality rates for stroke in Utah may not be an appropriate comparison.

Group of answer choices

True

False

Respuesta :

Answer:

stroke mortality rate in Florida is about ≅ 39.6   [deaths = 13,255]

the population of Florida is about ≅ 21.3 million (2018)

the stroke mortality rate in Utah is about ≅ 36.3     [deaths = 919]

the population of Utah is about ≅ 3.161 million (2018)

so, the comparison will not be appreciated as there is a huge difference in their population.

  • the small population will show a high mortality rate than the bigger population.

so, the answer is True.
