Mortality rate is the incidence of a deaths with a particular population over a specified (like a year) commonly expressed as a rate per 1000 or 100,000 individuals.

Thank you for the explanation. Mortality rate is indeed the measure of the number of deaths in a given population over a specific time period, usually expressed as a ratio or rate per a given unit of population (e.g., per 1000 or 100,000 individuals). It is commonly used to assess the overall health and well-being of a population and to compare mortality patterns between different populations or time periods.
