List of countries by mortality rate

Mortality rate of countries, deaths per thousand

This article includes the list of countries by crude mortality rate.

Methodology

Crude mortality rate refers to the number of deaths over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is usually expressed in units of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year.

The list is based on CIA World Factbook 2023 estimates, unless indicated otherwise.

Many developing countries have far higher proportions of young people, and lower proportions of older people, than some developed countries, and thus may have much higher age-specific mortality rates while having lower crude mortality rates.
