For example, age-specific mortality rates provide a more comprehensive view of mortality for sub-groups of the population stratified by age. Therefore, the numerator and denominator are restricted to specific age groups. Because age-specific rates are more homogeneous than crude rates, they also can be more accurately compared across populations.
