Standardized Death Rate for Population A is calculated using Population B's age structure as standard. This allows:
A. Calculation of A's fertility rates
B. Estimation of A's future population size
C. Assessment of whether A's age-specific mortality is higher/lower than B's
D. Direct comparison of crude death rates
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By applying A's age-specific death rates to B's standard population, SDR isolates differences in mortality risk from differences in age composition, revealing true mortality level comparisons.
