Mortality Heterogeneity is a theoretical construct in mortality modeling that captures the variation in individual mortality risks within a population due to unobserved differences in frailty, health status, or environmental exposures, distinguishing it from aggregate-level mortality patterns by accounting for differential susceptibility to death among individuals.
