=== 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.
