Comment: The trends in this graph are much the same as those in the graph for age 70-79 years (graph
no. 317): this is because the absolute death rates are far higher at 70-79 than at 15-69.
Method: Mortality rates calculated using data from the World Health Organization and the
United Nations Population Division,
then standardised for age (by taking unweighted averages of component rates) and smoothed (as weighted 3-year moving averages). For details, see
the Info page.
Caution: Trends can reflect not only changes in disease occurrence or treatment, but also changes in how a cause of death is
defined or coded.
