Supplementary notes
Data for 2021 or nearest year.
Other causes of death not shown in the figure represent 21 percent of all deaths.
Values in the figure have been rounded up, so the total sum with "Other causes" may not precisely equal 100 percent.
Mortality rates are calculated by dividing the number of deaths recorded within a country in a given year by its population. These rates are adjusted to the age distribution of the 2015 OECD population to remove variations arising from differences in age structures across countries and over time.
The source for mortality rates is the World Health Organization (WHO) Mortality Database.
