About
Annual mortality data spanning multiple decades for numerous causes of death worldwide. This dataset allows for detailed examination of global public health crises and mortality disparities, particularly highlighting the varying impact of diseases such as HIV/AIDS across different countries and regions. This resource is valuable for analysing trends concerning infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and external causes of death over time.
Columns
The dataset contains 35 columns, primarily tracking mortality counts:
- Entity: The country or geographical area for which the death figures are recorded. There are 228 unique values.
- Code: The geographical code associated with the entity.
- Year: The specific year of the mortality recording, ranging from 1990 to 2019.
- HIV/AIDS fatalities: Annual reported deaths attributed to HIV/AIDS (maximum approximately 1.84 million).
- Tuberculosis fatalities: Annual reported deaths from Tuberculosis (maximum approximately 1.81 million).
- Cardiovascular fatalities: Annual reported deaths from cardiovascular diseases (maximum approximately 18.6 million).
- Neoplasm fatalities: Annual reported deaths from various cancers/neoplasms (maximum approximately 10.1 million).
- Lower respiratory fatalities: Annual reported deaths from lower respiratory infections (maximum approximately 3.32 million).
- Malaria fatalities: Annual reported deaths from Malaria (maximum approximately 961 thousand).
- Diarrheal disease fatalities: Annual reported deaths from diarrheal diseases (maximum approximately 2.90 million).
- Self harm fatalities: Annual reported deaths from self harm (maximum approximately 841 thousand).
- Road injury fatalities: Annual reported deaths resulting from road injuries (maximum approximately 1.29 million).
- Maternal disorder fatalities: Annual reported deaths related to maternal disorders (maximum approximately 303 thousand).
- Conflict fatalities: Annual reported deaths resulting from conflict (maximum approximately 567 thousand).
Distribution
The data is derived from an annual cause death numbers CSV file. It contains 35 columns and a total of 6,840 records. The structure is organised by country and year, providing specific fatality counts for each recorded cause of death.
Usage
This resource is ideal for researchers and analysts studying global mortality trends, health equity, and the effectiveness of disease intervention programmes. Specific applications include mapping regional disparities in infectious diseases, assessing the long-term burden of chronic conditions, and benchmarking national public health outcomes. It is useful for understanding how the global distribution of HIV/AIDS deaths underscores the importance of context-specific interventions.
Coverage
Geographic coverage is worldwide, encompassing 228 unique countries and territories. The temporal scope spans 30 years, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2019. The data offers insights into regions experiencing a disproportionately high burden of specific diseases, such as Southern Sub-Saharan Africa concerning HIV/AIDS mortality.
