How to read these data

WHO modelled estimates (Global Health Observatory), with 95% confidence intervals where WHO publishes them. They are comparable across countries and may differ from official national figures.
Reference year: the most recent year available for each country is shown. For 2020–2021, cause-of-death proportions are affected by COVID-19 mortality; for some countries the latest available year is 2019.
Methods are not mixed: all columns use the same source (WHO) and age standardization to the WHO standard population.
n/a: Aruba, Curaçao and the British Virgin Islands are not WHO Member States and have no comparable WHO/PAHO estimate.
Cancer data by site (incidence and mortality, GLOBOCAN/IARC 2024): in preparation, pending IARC permission for use.
