About the tool

How do input data become GBD estimates? Walk through the estimation process for mortality trends for children and adults for 195 countries and territories using the revamped Mortality visualization. See source and comparative data and step through the stages in the estimation process to reveal the final mortality estimates from 1970 to 2016. Learn more about the process by reviewing the “Frequently Asked Questions” section in the visualization. Data is available for download on the visualization.
