Although 0 (at birth) to 1 are listed as the lower bound of age ranges, age restrictions are applied for many causes such that mortality estimates are not produced before a given age group (eg, 15–19 years for many non-communicable diseases). Causes are ordered on the basis of the GBD cause list and corresponding group hierarchies. GBD=Global Burden of Disease.
