Figure 5. Co-evolution of under-5 mortality with SDI globally and for GBD regions, 1990–2015.

Figure 5

Coloured lines show global and region values for under-5 mortality. Each point in a line represents one year starting at 1990 and ending at 2015. In all regions, SDI has increased over time, so progress in SDI is associated with points further to the right and later years for a given region. The solid black line represents the expected under-5 mortality based on SDI alone. SDI=Socio-demogrpahic Index. GBD=Global Burden of Disease.
