Data from UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation.20, 21, 24 Mortality rates, and the corresponding 90% uncertainty intervals, are expressed in the unit of deaths per 1000 population at the beginning of each age group and who are subject to risk of dying in that group. The mortality rate for the 15–19 age group was disaggregated by sex using the sex ratio in central death rates from the UN WPP201976 and standard life table approaches.
