- Standardization is a method to overcome the impact of confounding variables in epidemiological research.
- Indirect standardization is used when age-specific rates are unavailable.
- Indirect standardization involves applying a set of rates from a standard population to each observed population.
- The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) is used to compare observed deaths to expected deaths based on a standard population.
- Indirect standardization allows adjustment for age and other factors and can be used to calculate disease occurrence.
