Det som beskrivs på den sidan, handlar om totala mängden dödsfall i en population, inte dödsfall av en specifik orsak.
Jag förstår därför inte hur Mortality Rate kan användas för att beskriva en specifik sjukdom.
Nej.. om du inte förstår så vore det på sin plats att du utbildar dig lite innan du häver ur dig nonsens...

Crude mortality rate (crude death rate)
The crude mortality rate
is the mortality rate from all causes of death for a population. In the United States in 2003, a total of 2,419,921 deaths occurred. The estimated population was 290,809,777. The crude mortality rate in 2003 was, therefore, (2,419,921 ⁄ 290,809,777) × 100,000, or 832.1 deaths per 100,000 population.(8)
Cause-specific mortality rate
The cause-specific mortality rate is the mortality rate from a specified cause for a population.
The numerator is the number of deaths attributed to a specific cause. The denominator remains the size of the population at the midpoint of the time period. The fraction is usually expressed per 100,000 population. In the United States in 2003, a total of 108,256 deaths were attributed to accidents (unintentional injuries), yielding a cause-specific mortality rate of 37.2 per 100,000 population.(8)
