In direct age-adjustment, a common age-structured population is used as standard. This population may actually exist (e.g., United States population, 1999) or may be fictitious (e.g., two populations may be combined to create a standard). In indirect age-adjustment, a common set of age-specific rates is applied to the populations whose rates are to be standardized. The simplest and most useful form of indirect adjustment is the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) (5).
在直接年龄调整中，使用一个常见的年龄结构人口作为标准。该人口可能实际存在（例如，1999年美国人口），也可能是虚构的（例如，可将两个人口合并以创建一个标准）。在间接年龄调整中，将一组常见的年龄别率应用于其率要进行标准化的人群。间接调整的最简单且最有用的形式是标准化死亡比（SMR）（5）。
