Life tables for WHO Member States
WHO regularly updates its life tables for Member States, to take account of new data on levels of child and adult mortality, and revises its series of life tables for each Member State for years starting from 1990. These life tables also provide estimates of total deaths by age and sex that underpin WHO mortality and cause of death analyses.
