Sorted from smallest to largest ID with cause removed at age 50–54 in 2014-2016. A smaller new ID indicates that had there been no inequality in deaths from that given cause, inequality in all-cause mortality would have been lower.
a
Causes with less than 1000 deaths in each age, sex, and period group are excluded.
b
Screenable cancers include breast, prostrate, colorectal, and cervical cancers.
