Question

mortality Mortality rates were highest among those who those who lived closest to the plant. mɔrˈtæləti

Accepted Answer

(1) The quality or state of being alive and therefore certain to die. (2) The number of deaths that occur in a particular time or place. Young people tend to assume they will never die; but a person's sense of his or her mortality generally increases year by year, and often increases greatly after a serious accident or illness. Still, many people refuse to change behaviors that would improve their chances of living into old age. Mortality rates are calculated by government agencies, insurance companies, and medical researchers. Infant mortality rates (the rate at which infants die in childbirth) provide a good indicator of a country's overall health; in recent years, the rates in countries like Iceland, Singapore, and Japan have been much better than in the U.S
