The rate of an outcome calculated for a certain age group. Only people in the designated age brackets are included in the numerator and denominator.
a rate in which the number of events and population at risk are restricted to an age group (e

The number of new cases diagnosed per 100,000 individuals over a specified time period for a specified age group. Age-specific rates show the variation in cancer incidence by age. Age groups are divided into five-year age groupings (i.e., 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, ..., 75-84, and 85+).
A rate obtained for specific age groups in a population (for example, age-specific fertility rate, death rate, marriage rate).
The proportion of people in a specific age group with a particular characteristic. In this report, age-specific rates have been expressed as percentages (that is, rates per 100 people) or as rates per 100,000 people.
The number of cases per 100,000 persons per year for a specific, narrow age range. Five-year age groups are commonly used.
A measure of how common something is in a certain age group. So, for instance, with cancer incidence it is the number of people diagnosed with cancer at a certain age in a certain year, divided by the population of that age group and in that year X 100,000.
A rate for a specific age group. The numerator and denominator relate to the same age group.
