Morbidity vs. Mortality
Morbidity vs. Mortality
Morbidity – (noun) proportion of sickness for a specific disease in a geographical locality
Example:
1. "The morbidity of measles in Mexico is higher than that in the US."
Mortality – (noun) being subject to death; frequency of death in a specific location
Example:
1. "The mortality rate during war is unthinkable."
*Tip/Hint: morbidity has to do with sickness, and mortality has to do with death.
Let's use both morbidity and mortality together in a sentence:
"If the morbidity of HIV in Africa increases, then it will be facing the highest mortality rates ever on record."
