Figure 7. Change in life expectancy at birth by GBD region and cause group from 1990 to 2013.

Figure 7

An interactive figure with these data is available at http://vizhub.healthdata.org/le. Changes in life expectancy as a result of specific causes were decomposed from the difference between all-cause lifetables and cause-deleted lifetables (mortality set to zero for a specific cause). Because all changes in life expectancy are based on cross-sectional lifetables, the cause-specific changes add up to the total change in life-expectancy. NTDs=neglected tropical diseases.
