What do you need to know in order to understand the other attributes of the variable? (This may include references to relevant literature)
If the average life expectancy is 100 years and the age groups are of equal size, the background mortality is 0.01/a. In Finland, life expectancy is shorter, but on the other hand, older age groups are larger than younger, and therefore 0.01/a is a resonable approximation. About 50% of all deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases and ca. 20% due to cancer.

Risk assessment on Hämeenkyrö municipal solid waste incinerator contains a structured risk assessment of a plan to build a MSWI in Hämeenkyrö. There will be a public vote related to a city planning decision: whether the municipality should plan an area for the plant or not. The vote will be held in November 19, 2006.

This risk assessment consists of several pages:

Background mortality rates for selected causes of death in Hämeenkyrö

Scope

Background mortality rates for selected causes of death in Hämeenkyrö. General population considered. Causes include cardiovascular mortality and total cancer mortality.

Description

If the average life expectancy is 100 years and the age groups are of equal size, the background mortality is 0.01/a. In Finland, life expectancy is shorter, but on the other hand, older age groups are larger than younger, and therefore 0.01/a is a resonable approximation. About 50% of all deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases and ca. 20% due to cancer.
