In addition, calculation of age standardized prevalence allowed comparison to other prevalences standardized to the WHO World Population.
To allow comparison between countries, YLLs and YLDs were age standardized by the direct method, using the world standard population [ 8]. (3) YLD = ∑ x, y i x, y d w y d x, y where i = incidence, x = age, y = disease phase, dw = Disability weight, d = duration of disability.
Admission rates per 100,000 persons were calculated using regional denominator data from the 2006 NZ Census (3 ) and age standardized by a direct method using 10-year age groups.
By direct method, the age standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of thyroid cancer per 100,000 Canadians has increased from 1.1 in 1970 1972 to 6.1 in 2012 for males, and from 3.3 to 22.2 in females during the same period 1– 14.
Pooling all countries, the relative change in age-standardized prevalence was somewhat more similar to the change in general population prevalence, but not substantially so; age standardized prevalence declined by 17.4% compared with a 18.8% decline in crude prevalence among pregnant women.
On average, the age standardized prevalence of hypertension by measurement was 28.0 % [95 % CI: 27.7-28.3].
Table 2 presents the age standardized incidence rate for injury by place, sex and location of residence.

Age standardized suicide rates in South Korea increased by 98% in men (from 15.3 to 30.3 per 100,000) and by 124% in women (from 5.8 to 13.0 per 100,000).
Table 1 presents the age standardized incidence rates for types of injury by sex and place of residence.
Age standardized incidence rates per 10000 inhabitants were calculated by gender for each year of the study.
