Total Deaths

Total Death is a term used to refer to all deaths that occurred during a particular period of time. Similar to how life expectancy is calculated, the rate of deaths from all causes serves as a general health indicator for the population. By dividing the total population by the disease's death toll, the overall death toll of a disease is determined.
