Mortality rates

Most mortality rates were calculated using data from the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO is not, however, responsible for any of this site's content.

What's New

Web address: www.mortality-trends.org

28 10 2013. The developer of this website, Gary Whitlock, died of a rare type of cancer, parotid carcinoma, on 18 10 2013. The website will, consequently, undergo no further updates or major alterations, but it can be expected to continue in its present general state until March 2022—when, like its maker, it will expire.
