Analysis: Lower values indicate fewer members were lost compared to those that were gained.

Example: a value of 40 indicates for every 100 accessions, there were 40 losses, or 40% of ac-cessions were neutralized by losses.

Analysis: Comparison of Adventist mortality rates vs. general population for the given admin-istrative unit.

-- An Adventist mortality rate higher than the general population's can indicate aged mem-bership.

-- A much lower Adventist mortality rate can indicate poor recordkeeping and/or inflated membership.

Deaths Rate = Member Deaths per Thousand / Regional Deaths per Thousand * 100

Analysis: Comparison of Adventist mortality rates vs. general population for the given region. Ide-ally, this ratio would be close to the regional baseline.

Example: A value of 50 indicates that the Adventist death rate is 50% of the normal death rate for the region.
