Description
The GBD 2017 Causes of Death Collaborators published this mortality analysis in 2018. Countries need cause-of-death figures they can compare to judge their own progress. The study estimates deaths by age and sex for a long list of causes.
Coverage spans nearly two hundred countries and territories over almost four decades. Heart disease and stroke lead the global totals, while child deaths from infection keep falling. The authors flag places where death records are weak and estimates lean on models. Even with those limits, the release is the standard yardstick for global mortality.
