Graphs showing time trends in mortality rates

Welcome...

This website shows time trends in mortality rates. The rates are for particular countries, ages and causes of death—and you can choose which. To begin, click one of the images at right.

Countries

Full sets of graphs are available for 40 countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, France, Spain, Singapore and Italy.

Mortality rates

Most mortality rates were calculated using data published by the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO is not, however, responsible for any of this site's content.

(formerly www.mortrends.org)


5 May 2012. The Choose a graph page has been comprehen- sively updated and revamped.

Information on mortality in more recent years has been added for 27 countries and territories: Argentina, Austria, Chile, Croatia, Cuba, the Czech Republic, England & Wales, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Furthermore, for all 40 countries and territories on the Choose a graph page: (1) brain cancer has been added to the drop-down list of selectable diseases; (2) shifts between disease-classification eras are now indicated; and (3) mortality trend lines are shown in less lurid colours than before (the former colours are preserved, however, in the icon at bottom left).
