Mortality and burden of disease Indicators derived from mortality rates provide a good picture of overall population health. These indicators include infant and child mortality (the probability of dying between birth and 1 and 5 years of age, respectively), adult mortality (the probability of dying between 15 and 60 years of age) and overall life expectancy at birth. Almost 20% of all deaths are of children less than five years old. Neonatal mortality (deaths during the first 28 days of life per 1000 live births) accounts for a large proportion of child deaths in many countries. Neonatal mortality rates are considered a useful indicator of overall maternal and newborn health and the care that mothers and babies receive. Estimates of mortality are derived from death registration data reported annually to WHO. For countries where such data are not available or are of poor quality, survey and census sources are analysed and used to create life tables for each country. Countries with low life expectancy invariably have high levels of child mortality. For example, life expectancy at birth in the WHO African Region was estimated at only 52 years in 2007, compared with 76 years in the WHO Region of the Americas. Child mortality in the two regions was 145 per 1000 live births and 19 per 1000, respectively. In several African countries, recent improvements in child survival have not been reflected in higher life expectancy because they have been offset by higher levels of adult mortality due to HIV/AIDS and, in some countries, conflict. However, mortality statistics alone are not sufficient to fully describe, measure and compare the health states of populations. This is because death rates underestimate the burden of ill-health caused by noncommunicable adult disease by not providing any information on non-fatal health outcomes. Hearing loss, visual impairment and mental disorders are the most common causes of disability worldwide. A summary measure of population health therefore needs to capture both fatal and non-fatal health outcomes. Life expectancy estimates reflect how many years a person might be expected to live. Healthy life expectancy is an estimate of how many years they might live in “good” health. These estimates are based on country life tables, analyses of 135 causes of disability for 17 regions of the world and 69 health surveys in 60 countries. The estimates of healthy life expectancy are more uncertain than those for life expectancy, because it is difficult to ensure comparable measurements of disability across countries and account for limitations in the data.
