Description
Eilerts-Spinelli and colleagues estimate causes of death for older children and teenagers across the world. Their analysis covers ages five to nineteen in 195 countries, for the years 2000 to 2024. Like its companion study of younger children, it uses a Bayesian model to divide deaths by cause from surveys, registries, and published studies.
This age band is often skipped in global health counts, which focus on the under-fives. Yet injuries, infections, and other causes strike school-age children in patterns worth tracking on their own. The estimates give planners a full picture across childhood, so programmes for older children rest on numbers rather than guesses.
