Own estimates using combined data from the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division, World Population Prospects, 2015 Revision, and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), Statistics of mortality (1990–2014).

*

All death rates are expressed per 100 000 population.

The estimated and adjusted number of deaths for 2030 use United Nations Population Division (UNPD) population projections and implied death rates for 2030 with linear regressions based on cause-specific and age-specific mortality rates for years 2000–14.

Percentage reduction of deaths under the estimated inertial scenario based on UNPD death estimates, relative to the baseline scenario.

§

Death rates for 2030 population assuming a flat 40% reduction in the baseline number of deaths across age groups. The list of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision and the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes used to group deaths by major cause is included in the appendix.
