What Are the Challenges in Assessing Age-Specific Mortality Rates in Toxicology?
Assessing age-specific mortality rates in toxicology presents several challenges. One major challenge is the lack of comprehensive exposure data across different age groups. Additionally, the latency period between exposure and onset of disease can complicate the assessment of mortality rates. Variability in individual susceptibility and confounding factors, such as socioeconomic status and access to healthcare, further complicate the analysis.
