Here, we only discuss the first three causes of mortality as they are linked to environmental factors (see Table). The mortality rate due to a specific disease is a multiplication of the incidence rate (fraction of the population with the specific disease) and the case fatality rate (the fraction of people who die from a specific disease), distinguishing for the two sexes and five-year age cohorts. These mortality rates can then be used to calculated age-specific life expectancy (for details see [[Hilderink, 2000]]). | Here, we only discuss the first three causes of mortality as they are linked to environmental factors (see Table).
