Bot GPT 3.5 To compute the crude death rates (CDR) for Cameroon and Spain, we can use the formula:
CDR = (Total deaths / Total population) * 1000
For Cameroon:
Total population = 1548560 + 1004856 + 840856 + 144856 = 3542128
Total deaths = (1548560 * 12.8 / 1000) + (1004856 * 18.0 / 1000) + (840856 * 50.4 / 1000) + (144856 * 85.4 / 1000) = 26775.85
CDR for Cameroon = (26775.85 / 3542128) * 1000 ≈ 7.56 per 1000
For Spain:
Total population = 828560 + 1190856 + 844856 + 674856 = 3543128
Total deaths = (828560 * 8.1 / 1000) + (1190856 * 15.5 / 1000) + (844856 * 40.4 / 1000) + (674856 * 62.0 / 1000) = 37421.892
CDR for Spain = (37421.892 / 3543128) * 1000 ≈ 10.56 per 1000
Now, let's compare the CDR between Cameroon and Spain. Spain has a higher CDR compared to Cameroon, indicating a higher number of deaths per 1000 population in Spain.
Next, let's compare the age-specific death rates (ASDR) for the two countries:
- For the age group 0-14, Cameroon has an ASDR of 12.8 per 1000, while Spain has an ASDR of 8.1 per 1000. This indicates that the death rate for children and teenagers is higher in Cameroon compared to Spain.
- For the age group 15-44, Cameroon has an ASDR of 18.0 per 1000, while Spain has an ASDR of 15.5 per 1000. Again, the death rate for adults in this age group is higher in Cameroon.
- For the age group 45-64, Cameroon has an ASDR of 50.4 per 1000, while Spain has an ASDR of 40.4 per 1000. The death rate for middle-aged adults is higher in Cameroon.
- For the age group 65+, Cameroon has an ASDR of 85.4 per 1000, while Spain has an ASDR of 62.0 per 1000. The death rate for seniors is also higher in Cameroon.
Overall, the age-specific death rates are higher in Cameroon across all age groups compared to Spain, which reflects the overall higher crude death rate in Cameroon.
