Comment: [This graph has the same vertical scale as the preceding graph for males (graph no. 321). In these two series of
Australia-related graphs (graph no.'s 308 to 321), the female and male graphs at any particular age
are shown against the same vertical axis.]
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.
