Annual number of deaths: reported versus estimated
Total annual deaths according to four sources. The WHO Mortality Database shows the number of deaths for which the cause has been registered. The other three sources: UN World Population Prospects, IHME Global Burden of Disease and WHO Global Health Estimates, aim to estimate the total number of deaths using statistical modelling.
