    Default doubt!

    Hi...i need help translating this:

    "Número de muertes al año a la edad indicada"

    could it be "Number of deaths over a year period at the age specified" ? or "Number of deaths over a year period at the specified age "

    I mean, as far as I understand, the word "specified" is an adjective and therefore has to be placed before the noun (age)...am i right?..

    thank
    danii

    I suggest:
    number of deaths per year at the specified age

    Specified can be a past participle used as an adjective, placed before: specified age

    or it can be a past tense verb, passive in this case: age specified (by someone)

    In this case, it doesn't make much difference.
