Analyze forecasts and alternative better and worse scenarios from 2017 to 2040 for 250 causes of death, life expectancy, years of life lost (YLLs) as well as risk-attributable deaths and YLLs. Use treemaps, arrow diagrams, decomposition plots, line charts, maps and others to compare across countries and with regions of the world. Explore patterns and trends by country age and gender. Drill from a global view into specific details.
