French term or phrase: standardisé sur la structure d’âge de la population mondiale

Hello,

I am translating an article regarding the incidence rate of cancers in France during certain years.

Here is the context:

Taux d’incidence: nombre de cas pour 100000 personnes/an standardisé sur la structure d’âge de la population mondiale (TSM).

TSM = SMR (Standard Mortality Rate)

Thank you for any help!

age-standardised world mortality rate

Explanation:
Age-Standardised(World) mortality rate per 100,000.

ASR(W) - age-standardised world mortality rate per 100,000 population.

http://www.onconet.cz/index-en.php?pg=news&aid=994

The age-standardised mortality rate has been decreasing each year from 1998. In 2009 the rate was 4.7 deaths
per 100,000.

Queensland’s world age-standardised incidence rate of 12 new cases per 100,000 was estimated to be the 6th highest in the world.

Actually, I think TSM stands for "Taux standardisés monde", as here:

http://www.senologie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Les-canc...

so I might say "age-standardised world rates" -
Comparison of time trends of truncated (30–64 years) age-standardised (world) rates

Lung cancer incidence – age-standardised (World) rates, per 100,000

https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/migrations/en-uk/f...

Here it has "age-standardised to the world population" and "age-standardised (world) rates by age group":

Charles Davis: Hi Rachel. I still don't think this fits the context expressed like this. I'll add a note to my answer.

disagree

Daryo: absolutely NOT! mortality rates [before and after "age-standardisation"] are local [per country, ..] - what is "at the level of the whole world" is the "pyramid of ages" used to correct local mortality rates in order to make them comparable.

age-standardised / standardised for age against the world population

Explanation:
Although Rachel has already provided an authentic expression, my excuses for offering another answer are:

1) Very important: "mortality" should not be in there at all. It's only been mentioned because you interpreted TSM as the mortality rate, but I agree with Nikki that M must stand for mondial here. This is talking about the incidence rate, not the mortality rate: number of (new) cases, not number of deaths.

2) I think your context requires a different wording. I believe the word that will enable you to make it fit together is "against". Your sentence could go like this:

Incidence rate: number of cases per 100 000 persons/year age-standardised against the world population

"Standardised for age" could also be used.

The following reference is about mortality, but I'm quoting it just to illustrate the phrasing with "against", which is the easiest way to make it fit your context without radically rewriting it:

"In 2008 there was a total of 503 deaths registered in Guernsey and Alderney, including stillbirths, 234 of which were male and 269 female. This equates to a crude death rate of 785.9 per 100,000. Standardised for age against the European population, this rate (EASR) was calculated as 460.9 deaths per 100,000. The EASR for the period 2006–2008 is slightly higher, 492.3, but is still markedly less than the England and England/Wales averages for the same period (see Table 15)."

"When age-standardised against the North West Thames population"
https://books.google.es/books?id=Ym4p04oCx3cC&pg=PA43&lpg=PA...

"Age standardised against 2008 UK population"
https://www.actuaries.org.uk/system/files/documents/pdf/ifoa...

On TSM, Since I agree with Nikki that the M means mondial, you could consider replacing it with WASR, which is used in the UK and Ireland (along with EASR for the European rate):

"What is the world age-standardised rate (WASR)?
This is the rate that would have been found if the population of Ireland had the same age-composition (proportion of total population in each five year age class) as a hypothetical world-wide population.
The rates are calculated by applying the age-specific rates for the location being studied to a theoretical world-wide standard population, usually expressed per 100,000 persons per year. "
https://www.ncri.ie/faqs/interpret-use-our-data/what-world-a...

Or Rachel's ASR(W) would do the job.

By the way, since the incidence rate refers to the number of new cases, not just the number of cases, I think you could consider "correcting" the source here by adding "new". I would do so, though I'd probably add a note to the translation saying that I've done so and why.

--------------------------------------------------

Although my proposal (and others here, for that matter) doesn't explicitly render "structure", I don't think you need to; "standardised" already includes that idea.

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 14 hrs (2017-10-01 12:10:53 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Rachel's revised proposal of "age-standardised (world) rate" still doesn't fit this context, in my opinion, even if "mortality" is now omitted. You can refer to the "age-standardised (world) rate" of cancer for a given country (though it's now very often expressed that way; "world age-standardised rate" is quite a bit more common). So the incidence rate they are talking about for France is the age-standardised (world) rate or the world age-standardised rate. But how is the sentence going to go?

Incidence rate: number of new (new) cases per 100 000 persons/year...

How do you work in "age-standardised (world) rate" after that? I can't see how it can be done.

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 14 hrs (2017-10-01 12:14:21 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Sorry; I meant to say "it's <n>not</n> very often expressed that way" in the above added note (line 2). And I didn't mean to repeat "new" in the line beginning "Incidence rate" (actually "Incidence" alone would probably be better for "Taux d'incidence"; "incidence rate" is a tautology, since incidence is inherently a rate).

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 17 hrs (2017-10-01 15:56:24 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Actually, when I look, "age-standardised to" is a bit more common than "age-standardised against", and I think "o" would be preferable, though "against" is used in very respectable sources and either would do.

Reference: WHO

Reference information:
If you wish to go cith the WHO terminology, then here you can see that when expressed fully, "world" starts the prhase, but that in its acronym, the (W) comes at the end, no doubt to enable other zones to be expressed easily (e.g. Europe wth (E)).

http://ci5.iarc.fr/CI5-X/Pages/registry_summary.aspx

"ASR(W): The world age-standardized incidence rate [by site]."

You might like to check to see whether the ICD uses different terminology, or indeed whether the WHO is consistent. This source is probably helpfully authoritative (?*!) as it is the WHO's IACR.
