Asian Development Bank. 2004 Unit of measuring: 100.000 peopleFormula: IRI = TVTC *1.000 Formula explained: Total number of estimated deaths by cause in relation to total population or to a defined population (sex), and divided by that total population (both sexes or it correspondent sex). It is expressed by 100.000 people for a determined year. For example, the mortality rate by tuberculosis for women is calculated by dividing the number of women that have died because of it during the selected year into the number of female that composed the whole population for that same year, and all multiplied by 100.000. The rest of populations and causes can be calculated in the same way. Mortality rate= (number of deaths / total population) * 100.000 ;
