Annual change in all-cause deaths by GBD super-region across three age groups, 1970–2021
Annual change is defined as the difference between the number of deaths in the current year and the preceding year. The y-axes scales differ by age groups. The large change in the 5–24 years group between 1994 and 1995 was due to deaths during the Rwandan genocide. Different colours show GBD super-regions. GBD=Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study.
