What is the Crude Death Rate?

The crude death rate (CDR) is a basic calculation used to estimate the number of deaths in a given population over a specific period, typically one year. It is expressed as the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals. The formula for calculating the CDR is:
CDR = (Number of Deaths / Total Population) x 1,000
This measure does not account for the age distribution of the population, which can influence the death rate significantly.
