Abbreviated Name:
Mortality between 30 and 70 years of age from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases
Indicator Name:
Probability of dying between the exact ages 30 and 70 years from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory diseases
Domain:
Health status / Life expectancy and mortality
Related Terms:
Mortality by cause, age group 30-70 yrs
Definition:
Per cent of 30-year-old-people who would die before their 70th birthday from any of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming that s/he would experience current mortality rates at every age and s/he would not die from any other cause of death (e.g., injuries or HIV/AIDS).
Measurment Method:
Deaths from these four causes will be based on the following ICD codes: 100-199, C00-C97, E10-E14, and J30-J98. Age–specific death rates are based on data on deaths by age, gender and cause of death, as generated by the Member States from their death registration systems.
Numerator:
Number of deaths between ages 30 and 70 years due to the four causes.
Denominator
Number of years of exposure.
Estimation method:
Probability of death between exact age 30 and exact age 70 was calculated using cause-specific mortality rates in each 5-year age group and standard life table methods. The estimates are derived from the WHO Global Health Estimates (GHE). These estimates represent the best estimates of WHO, computed using standard categories, definitions and methods to ensure cross-country comparability, and may not be the same as official national estimates. Due to changes in input data and methods, the revisions of GHE are not comparable to previously published WHO estimates.
Disaggregation:
Place of residence, sex, socioeconomic status
Primary data sources:
Civil registration with high coverage and medical certification of cause of death (vital statistics systems)
Alternate data sources:
Household surveys, population-based health surveys with verbal autopsy
Measurment frequency:
Annual for civil registration
