" With a larger population, you're always going to have larger mortality rates for almost every illness."

Mortality rate is expressed as deaths per thousand, or hundred thousand etc. It is a relative measure and should not be affected by population size.

I should have said it better. I meant to say TOTAL deaths by the percentage of the population.
