Absolute death rates at ages 35-70 years among people with different levels of education were estimated by combining age and sex-specific 2020 national death rates in the eight component 5-year age groups with study RRs for all-cause mortality at ages 35-59 years and 60-69 years, assuming 7% of men had no education, 16% incomplete primary education, 24% complete primary education, 27% secondary education, and 25% tertiary education, with corresponding proportions among women of 13%, 21%, 29%, 25%, and 12%, respectively. For example, for each 5-year age group, the average annual mortality rate among men with tertiary education was estimated as A, and among men with other levels of education was estimated as the mortality RR for that level of education versus tertiary education multiplied by A, with A chosen such that (0.07 x RRno education x A) + (0.16 x RRincomplete primary education x A) + (0.24 x RRcomplete primary education x A) + (0.27 x RRsecondary education x A) + (0.25 x A) equalled the 2020 Mexican mortality rate for that 5-year age group in men. RR=rate ratio.
