Figure 1. India, 2005: malaria mortality before age 70, by state.
Numbers of deaths (thousands, ages 0-69 years) and age-standardised rates (with 99% confidence intervals). Rates are standardised in 5-year age groups to total Indian population. The high-malaria states include 12% of national deaths from all causes and 47% of all-India malaria-attributed deaths before age 70. Apart from these, the only states in which at least 50 malaria deaths at ages 0-69 were recorded in our study (with all-India malaria deaths in thousands) include: Madhya Pradesh (20), Gujarat (12), Andhra Pradesh (10), Bihar (13), Rajasthan (12), Uttar Pradesh (19), Maharasthra (9) and other states (11).
