The crude death rate in Hong Kong varied from about 4.6 per 1 000 population to 6.1 per 1 000 population between 1961 and 2010. Whilst the number of male and female deaths increased during the period due to population growth.
The age-standardized death rate in Hong Kong decreased from 6.0 per 1 000 standard population in 1981 to 3.4 per 1 000 standard population in 2010. The rates for male and female were also decreased during the period.
In general, the age-specific death rate was higher in males than in females. The age-specific death rate was also higher at the extremes of age groups for both sexes. The age-specific death rate in 2010 was lower than that in 2000 for both sexes and most age groups.
