All data comes from the World Health Organisation Statistical Information System. Causes of death are coded using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10).
The numbers in brackets represent your chance of dying of that cause in that year. These are calculated as (deaths of that cause in that country, age group and sex that year) / (population of that country, age group and sex that year).
