Population | The Danish population distributed by gender and age at a given time. The register is based on the population from the Population and Housing Census of 09/11/1970 as well as the population on 01/01/1981, 01/01/1986 and 01/01/1991. The population is delimited to people aged 15-75. In analyses, the population is typically delimited to people aged 20-64. |
Variables | Number of persons, number of person years and number of deaths. The number of person years are calculated as the time passed between the counting of the population and the emigration date, the date of death or the period end date, depending on which date comes first. A person who emigrates is only counted as being at risk until the date of emigration. |
