As global population increases, life expectancy rises, and living standards improve, causes of death across the world are changing. In this entry we present a global overview of the causes of death. The data visualisations and explainers in the early part of this entry attempt to provide a comparison between causes and risk factors of death across countries and age groups.

Most of the increase in “average life expectancy” over the last 200 years or so results from the reduction in infant and young child mortality.

It wasn’t so rare to see an 80 year old person 250 years ago, but he probably had a few siblings who died very young.

I think “life expectancy” figures today should factor in those who could have survived gestation but were murdered before birth.
