Probability of Death from Selected Diseases, by Country and Region

Percent of 30-year-old residents who would die before their 70th birthday from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease.

Notes: Lighter bars indicate margin of error. Percentages assume residents would experience current mortality rates at every age level — and not die from other cause (injuries, HIV/AIDS, etc).
