This Technical Report was written by Colin Mathers and Jessica Ho with inputs and assistance from Dan Hogan, Wahyu Retno Mahanani, Doris Ma Fat and Gretchen Stevens. WHO life tables were primarily prepared by Jessica Ho and Colin Mathers of the Mortality and Health Analysis Unit in the WHO Department of Information, Evidence and Research (in the Health Systems and Innovation Cluster of WHO, Geneva). Data and methods for the 2016 update of life tables were developed with advice and assistance from a WHO Lifetables Working Group, established by the WHO Reference Group on Global Health Statistics. We also drew on advice and inputs from Interagency Group on Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME), the UN Population Division and UNAIDS. We would particularly like to note the assistance and inputs provided by Jeffrey Eaton, Patrick Gerland, Stephane Helleringer, Mary Mahy, Bruno Masquelier, Francois Pelletier, John Stover, John Wilmoth and Danzhen You.

1 Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) began producing annual life tables for all Member States in 1999. These life tables are a basic input to all WHO estimates of global, regional and country-level patterns and trends in all-cause and cause-specific mortality. After the publication of life tables for years to 2009 in the 2011 edition of World Health Statistics, WHO has shifted to a two year cycle for the updating of life tables for all Member States, and has moved towards alignment of this revision cycle with that of the World Population Prospects produced biennially by the UN Population Division.
Since 1998, WHO has been producing annual abridged life tables for Member States as part of its mandate to monitor and report on global progress in improving health. During the MDG era, WHO has been estimating time series of life tables from 1990 onwards. To support its reporting on progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, WHO has released updated annual life tables for Member States for the period 1990-2015. These are available in the WHO Global Health Observatory (1) and in World Health Statistics 2016 (2). These updated life tables also provide the all-cause mortality estimates for the WHO Global Health Estimates 2015 (GHE2015) to be released in 2016.
In recent years, WHO has liaised more closely with the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) on life tables for countries, in order to maximize the consistency of UN and WHO life tables, and to minimize differences in the use and interpretation of available data on mortality levels. For almost all WHO Member States, this update draws on the World Population Prospects 2015 (WPP2015) life tables prepared by the UN Population Division (UNPD) (3), as well as on infant and under-5 mortality rates (U5MR) have been developed and agreed upon by the Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN-IGME) which is made up of WHO, UNICEF, UNPD, World Bank and academic groups (4). death registration data reported to WHO by Member States (5), and UNAIDS/WHO estimates of HIV mortality for countries with high HIV prevalence (6).
The WHO Reference Group on Global Health Statistics convened a WHO Life Table Working Group in December 2014 to advise WHO on data, methods and revision strategies for WHO life tables. This group included academic experts as well as representatives of WHO, UNAIDS and UNPD and provided WHO with advice on the GHE2015 revisions through 2015 to date.
Consultations with Member States were carried out for estimates of neonatal, infant and child mortality in 2015, and for HIV mortality data, assumptions and estimates by UNAIDS in 2015 and 2016. Estimates for non-HIV mortality for ages 5 and over are closely aligned with the WPP2015 life tables, with adjustments for annual variations reported in death registration data and for mortality shocks (conflict and natural disasters). As a result, WHO did not carry out a separate consultation for the life table mortality rates, but will make these available to Member States for information, and for comments and new data to contribute to future revisions.
2. WPP2015 life tables
WPP2015 was released in mid-2015 (2) and includes abridged life tables for five-year periods 1950- 1955,……,2095-2100, for age groups 0, 1, 5, 10,….., 100+ by sex . Life tables are available for 183 of the 194 WHO Member States and for 3 non-Member territories with substantial populations (Occupied Palestinian Territory, Puerto Rico and China: Province of Taiwan). The WPP2015 excluded the following
World Health Organization Page 2
11 Member States (all with population <90,000 in 2015): Andorra, Cook Islands, Dominica, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Saint Kitts and Nevis, San Marino, and Tuvalu. The most recent Global Health Estimates for causes of death (7) excluded 22 Member States with a population of less than 550,000 in 2015. For the current update, life tables have been prepared for the 183 WHO Member States included in WPP2015, as well as for the 3 largest non-Member territories. The latter will not be released, but included only for the calculation of regional and global life tables and all-cause mortality.
For a group of 21 “high HIV countries”, the WPP life tables were developed using Spectrum to model the HIV epidemic using Spectrum inputs and assumptions for HIV provided by UNAIDS in mid-2014. For these countries, UN Population Division has provided estimates of non-AIDS death rates in the form of model life tables indexed by e0 time series and specification of the model life table variant used for each country (mostly Coale Demeny North). This allows calculation of implied age-sex-specific HIV death rates for these countries.
3 General approach for preparation of annual life tables
For this update, the objective was to publish WHO annual period life tables for years 1990-2015. For internal use in other analyses, we also aimed to prepare annual life tables for 1985-1989.The starting point for the preparation of WHO annual life tables was to interpolate annual values for the age-specific mortality rates mx from the WPP2015 5-year period average mx for each age-sex-country time series.
The WPP2015 uses the convention that a specified year (eg. 2015) refers to 1 July. Use of a hyphen (-) between years, for example, 1995-2000, signifies the full period involved, from 1 July of the first year to 1 July of the second year. WHO references to calendar years (eg 2015) refer to the period 1 January to 31 December and statistics either refer to averages or totals for the calendar year period. In practice, the annual average mortality rate for a calendar year is assumed to be essentially the same as the mortality rate at 1 July. Similarly, we assume that the 1 July population for year T is a proxy for the average population of calendar year T.
So if PT is the 1 July population for calendar year T, then the average population for the quinquennial period 2010-2015 is the person-years for the period 1 July 2010 to 1 July 2015 divided by 5:
Average population = (0.5*P2010 + P2012 + P2010 + P2013 +P2014 + 0.5*P2015)/5
For purposes of interpolation, we assume that the quinquennial average death rate falls in the centre of the quinquennial period eg. 1 January 2003 = 2002.5 This is usually an adequate approximation to the extent that trends are reasonably linear across the quinquennial interval.
For interpolation of mx values for annual periods 1985, 1986, …..2015 we used piecewise cubic Herite interpolating polynomials (usually referred to as PCHIP). This has the desirable property that he piecewise cubics join smoothly, so that both the interpolated function and its first derivative are continuous. In addition, the interpolant is shape-preserving in the sense that it cannot overshoot locally; sections in which period mx is increasing, decreasing or constant with time remain so after interpolation, and local extremes (maxima, maxima) also remain so (8). PCHIP interpolation was
World Health Organization Page 3
implemented using a procedure called pchipolate.ado available for Stata from the Statistical Software Components (SSC) Archive, often termed the "Boston College" archive (9).
When mx is not monotonically changing over time, and the mx for one period represents a local maximum or minimum, the interpolated annual mx will result in a period average mx that is lower than the local maximum input mx, or higher than the local minimum. This is illustrated in the following plot.

To ensure that the period average mx from the interpolated annual mx matches the inputs, the inputs were adjusted by the ratio of the original input to the new period average and the imputation repeated. Tests showed that three iterations were adequate to achieve reasonable convergence with average relative deviations in period mx below 0.001.
We defined four groups of Member States for which data inputs and interpolation methods differed. The four groups are:
High HIV countries 21 countries for which WPP2015 used Spectrum to explicitly model HIV
mortality. The UN Population Division has provided unpublished estimates of non-HIV mortality for these countries.
“Other” HIV countries An additional 22 countries with significant HIV epidemics for which WHO has
in the past explicitly modelled HIV and non-HIV mortality trends in order to prepare life tables. These countries were not modelled using Spectrum for WPP2015.
VR countries 85 countries for which the WHO Mortality Database held mortality data from
vital registration (VR) systems for 75% or more of years since 1990.
WPP countries 58 countries where interpolated mortality rates from WPP quinquennial life tables were used directly to construct annual life tables
A full list of countries in each category is provided in Annex Table A.
World Health Organization Page 4
3.1 Interpolation of mx for countries in the WPP and VR categories
Conflict and natural disasters (mortality shocks) may cause substantial increases in death rates for specific country-years. These may or may not be reflected in available death registration or survey/census data. WHO makes estimates of these deaths by country-year as part of its overall cause of death analyses and hence the all-cause mortality and life tables need to be consistent. Methods used for updating mortality shock estimates are summarized in Annex B.
The WPP 2015 includes the impact of large mortality shocks in some cases (eg. Rwanda 1994 genocide) but not for others (eg. Haiti 2010 earthquake). This may be obvious from 45q15 plots for large isolated mortality shocks, but much less clear for extended conflicts such as those in Afghanistan or Iraq. The assumed impact of mortality shocks included in WPP estimates may or may not be consistent with the WHO estimates of size of mortality shocks.
Annual estimates of conflict and natural disaster deaths by country, age, sex and year for the period 1985-2015 were prepared as described in Annex B. For countries in the VR and WPP groups, 45q15 plots were reviewed to identify country-periods for which WPP2015 had included an impact of mortality shocks. Separate plots for males and females were made for 45q15 calculated directly from the WPP 2015 estimates of mx and for “shock-free” mx from which the WHO estimates of shock mortality had been subtracted. The following plots show examples where the WPP 2015 estimates of mx included shock mortality (Bosnia and Herzegovina, left) and where they did not (Myanmar, right). For cases in the first category, non-shock mx were interpolated from the mx for neighbouring periods.
For six countries with extended conflicts, covering many of the 5-year periods in the range 1985-2015, it was assumed that the adult mortality data used to prepare WPP2015 life tables had included conflict mortality. These six countries were Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. For these countries, the WHO estimates of shock mortality for the 5-year periods were subtracted from the WPP2015 mortality rates and the 45q15 time series computed. The non-shock 45q15 were smoothed
World Health Organization Page 5
using Loess regression with bandwidth 0.8 and the smoothed 45q15 were used together with the UN model life table system (10,11) to compute non-shock mortality rates by age and sex.
Adjustments were also made for specific country-periods listed in Table 1, where WPP2015 had included some impact for a mortality shock. Table 2 lists country-periods with significant shock mortality according to WHO estimates, for which WPP2015 did not include a shock adjustment.

WPP2015 estimates of adult mortality for Lebanon were largely based on trends in U5MR and CD West model life tables. Data on adult mortality from reported household deaths in some recent censuses and surveys in the regions suggested that adult mortality is often higher than implied by CD west for a given U5MR, and adult mortality rates for Lebanon were adjusted upwards based on the region-specific relationship between 45q15, u5mr and income per capita. Additionally, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan are three countries with very substantial de facto resident populations of Syrian refugees from 2013 onwards. For years 2013-2015, mortality rates for these three countries were adjusted using a population weighted average of WPP2015 estimates of the country mx and Syrian mx, using UNHCR estimates of refugee populations (12).
After preparation of a complete set of “shock-free” period mx for the VR and WPP countries, annual mx were interpolated and WHO annual estimates of shock mortality added to obtain total mortality rates by 5-year age group, sex and year from 1985-2015.
3.2 Interpolation of mx for high HIV and “Other HIV” countries
For countries with substantial proportion of younger adult deaths (15-60 years) due to HIV, the all-cause mortality envelopes, trends and age patterns must be consistent with the HIV mortality estimates, otherwise the “non-HIV envelopes” will have strange and implausible age and/or time trends. This will then affect most other cause of death estimates.
For development of previous WHO life tables, 43 countries were classified as “high HIV” and explicit efforts made to ensure consistency of all-cause and HIV mortality estimates. For the WPP 2015, UN Population Division used Spectrum (13)with input assumptions consistent with those of UNAIDS in mid- 2014 to model all-cause mortality for 21 countries.
World Health Organization Page 7
Following discussions at the WHO life table working group meeting in New York, October 2015, Avenir Consulting prepared updated Spectrum models for 1985-2015 that took into account the WPP 2015 revisions to demographic data and all-cause mortality, as well as 2015 UNAIDS files with a range of 2016 updates to the Spectrum/AIM software including new patterns of adult mortality on ART and age at ART initiation among pediatric patients and the re-fitting of all the EPP curves.
Among the most important Spectum/AIM updates were:
1. Improvements to the EPP model that fits smooth prevalence trends to surveillance and survey
data. The handling of entrants and exists from the population 15-49 was improved to reduce the differences between the EPP model, which is a single age/sex group, and AIM which divides the population by sex and single age.
2. The mother-to-child transmission rates were updated by reviewing new studies from the last three years. This resulting in changes to the probability of transmission from mother-to-child for some PMTCT regimens.
3. New patterns of mortality for adults on ART were developed by the IeDEA Consortium using new data from 2011 to 2014. These updated patterns show somewhat higher mortality than the patterns used last year mainly as a result of the inclusion of more countries in the IeDEA data set.
4. The pediatric model now has a pattern describing the age distribution of children newly starting ART. The pattern was derived from data from IeDEA treatment sites. Previously new ART patients were distributed by age according to need. The new patterns are regional and show shifts in the distribution by age over time as infant diagnosis has expanded.
For preparation of the WHO life tables, it was also necessary to address issues relating to large mortality shocks in some countries, and the need to exclude these before interpolating from 5-year period to annual mortality rates. The following table summarizes WHO analyses of mortality shocks likely included in the mx estimates for the 43 high HIV and other HIV countries.

For high HIV countries, provisional non-HIV mx were calculated from the model life table assumptions and e0 series provided by UN Population Division. We added estimates of HIV death rates based on the revised Spectrum models to the non-HIV mx to recomputed total mortality mx. This led to consequential changes in trends and/or levels of all-cause 45q15 for a number of countries. To reduce these differences and to smooth trends for non-HIV mortality, revised model life tables for non-HIV mortality were prepared for 8 countries: Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, and Rwanda. The model life table assumptions for the high HIV countries are shown in Table 5. Some adjustments to individual period mx were also required for 8 countries to take into account mortality shocks. In the case of South Africa, all-cause death registration data adjusted for completeness was also used to assess levels of all-cause mortality, resulting in HIV mortality estimates somewhat lower than UNAIDS and WPP2015 estimates.
For “other HIV countries”, we subtracted the revised Spectrum modelled HIV mortality rates from the WPP2015 all-cause mortality rates and examined the consistency and plausibility of the resulting non- HIV mortality time trends, age trends and sex ratios. Provisional WHO mx were calculated by smoothing the implied non-HIV mortality trends and adding back the UNAIDS HIV mortality estimates. For problems with isolated periods in 8 countries, the mx for the period were revised by interpolation. For the following 11 countries, adjusted 45q15 time series were used to revise the model life tables for non-HIV mortality: Burkina Faso (females only), Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Haiti, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Togo and Thailand (males only). The model life table assumptions for the “Other HIV” countries are shown in Table 5.

for Tanzania in most recent years. The most recent publicly available empirical mortality pattern available for Tanzania (based on reported household deaths in the 2012 census) was also consistent with a higher 45q15 than the WPP2015 estimate. This derived from an estimated rapid decline of child mortality in recent years, used to predict adult non-HIV mortality from the model life table for WPP2015. The most recent publicly available empirical mortality pattern available for Tanzania (based on reported household deaths in the 2012 census) was also consistent with a higher 45q15
than the WPP2015 estimate. Trends in adult 45q15 for Tanzania were revised to reduce the acceleration in rate of decline, drawing also on IHME analyses of non-HIV mortality for Tanzania (14).

4 Adjustments using death registration data
The WPP2015 life tables draw extensively on available death registration data to assess age-specific mortality rates mx. For 21 countries with high quality and complete death registration data, they make use of life tables prepared for the Human Mortality Database (15, 16), which corrects for age misstatement at older age groups.
WHO holds time series of death registration data for around 100 countries (5). These potentially provide alternate data for preparing annual life tables, or additional data that would assist in imputation from period life tables. For 85 countries with at least 75% of the years in range 1990-2015 available, we evaluated the completeness of the all-cause deaths data and used completeness-adjusted death rates to inform the imputation of annual death rates for life tables.
4.1 Updated assessments of VR completeness
Until now, WHO has used population data reported by Member States for the population covered by death registration as the denominator for calculation of all-cause mortality rates, and has then computed total numbers of deaths by applying these rates to WPP population estimates for the de-facto resident population. This can result in completeness estimates varying from 100% for high income countries, and to estimated total deaths lower than registered deaths. Additionally, country-reported population data are not available for a substantial proportion of country-years in some regions.
For this revision of completeness estimates, we have switched to use of WPP2015 population estimates as denominators. Implied completeness of death registration data has then been assessed against WPP 2015 by comparing reported registered deaths against the total deaths implied by the WPP life tables for 5-year periods.
There are five countries where registered deaths reported to WHO do not include a province or territory not under government control. These are:
Cyprus: all data refer to government controlled areas
Georgia: excluding Abkhazia and South Osetia
Moldova: excluding Transnistria and Bender
Russia: 1993-2003 data exclude Chechnya
Serbia: excluding Kosovo-Metohija province
Singapore does not report deaths for non-citizen residents, who represent approximately 30% of the de- facto population. A number of European countries similarly exclude non-citizen residents from data reported to WHO those these typically amount to at most a few percent of the de-facto resident population. For these two groups of countries, the new method potentially results in lower completeness against UN estimates of resident population.
Overall completeness levels for ages 15+ were estimated by sex and compared with completeness estimates from IHME derived using an ensemble of death distribution methods (17,18) and with previous WHO completeness estimates based on WHO application of the Generalized Brass Growth- Balance and Bennett-Horiuchi methods for the 1990s and early 2000s. For the 85 countries with VR time
World Health Organization Page 11
series, adult completeness was assessed by comparing total registered deaths for persons aged 15 years and over in each five year period with 5-year period deaths for ages 15+ calculated from the WPP2015 life table mx together with WPP2015 population estimates for the 5-year periods. For 5-year periods covering only 4 years of death registration data, total registered deaths for the missing year was interpolated or extrapolated. For 5-year periods covering 2 or 3 years of death registration data, completeness was assessed against the total deaths calculated from the corresponding annual lifetables interpolated from WPP2015. In most cases, where a beginning or end period contained only 1 year of death registration data, this was excluded from the analysis.
Adjustments to estimated completeness levels were made for some countries as follows:
Guyana: Prior to 1995, IHME estimates of completeness were used
Israel: inclusion of East Jerusalem from 1980 onwards would result in apparent completeness of 1.06-
1.07 against WPP2015. Completeness was truncated at 1.0
Malta: completeness assessed against WPP2015 exceeded 1.0 for all except most recent years. Completeness was truncated at 1.0.
Mauritius: completeness assessed against WPP2015 exceeded 1.0 for all except most recent years. The
deaths reported to WHO include all of Mauritius except for the island of Rodrigues. Completeness for Mauritius was thus revised to 0.974.
Russia: Deaths in Chechnya are missing from the data reported to WHO for years 1993-2003
(corresponding to approximately 1% incompleteness). Assessed completeness was slightly less than 0.99 for most of this period, and was revised to 1.0 for males in 1990-1995 period, when it slightly exceeded 1.0.
Suriname: Prior to 1995-2000, previous WHO estimates of completeness were used
For a number of other countries mainly in Eastern Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean, completeness estimates fluctuated both above and below 1.0. Apparent completeness above 100% may reflect issues with the numerator for registered deaths, which can vary in some country-years in term of (a) "year of occurrence vs year of registration", (b) "provisional vs. final", (c), de-jure vs. de-facto or (d) inclusion of nationals only (as in Japan and several EU countries). It may also reflect mismatches with denominators resulting from issues around the estimation of the "de-facto" population and the inclusion of migrants and refugees in the countries (irrespective of their legal status). For country- periods where estimated completeness exceeded 1.05, it was capped at 1.05.
After these adjustments, annual completeness estimates were smoothly interpolated from the 5-year period completeness estimates. Rising and falling projections for latest partial 5-year period were adjusted to avoid out-of-sample trends. In a number of cases where completeness rates for the last 5- year period rose above 100%, completeness was capped at 100%. Identification of out of sample trends was also informed by examination of IHME estimates of completeness trends (18). Annex C compares the resulting final completeness time series for countries with previous estimates by WHO and IHME. Annex Table D lists estimated completeness for the most recent year of death registration data for each Member State meeting inclusion criteria.

4.2 Revision of imputed annual death rates
The WPP2015 life tables based on death registration data included adjustments for age mis-statement and under-reporting at older ages based on analyses carried out by the Human Mortality Database (15,16), analyses for consistency with population age structures and use of the Kannisto-Thatcher method for assessing oldest age mortality rates (19). For this reason, we did not simply apply the completeness estimated for ages 15+ to all VR deaths for those ages, but carried out a second assessment of completeness against the WPP2015 life tables, for each sex separately for age groups 5- 9,10-14, 15-69, 70-79, 80-84, 85+.
Smoothly varying annual completeness estimates for years 1985-2015 were imputed using PCHIP
interpolation (8,9). The age-sex specific completeness estimates were assumed constant outside the lower and upper period mid-points for the available VR years for each country. Age-specific completeness estimates for age groups 70-74 and 75-79 were then imputed to ensure a smooth transition between earlier and older age groups. Finally, the imputed age-sex specific completeness estimates were adjusted to match the sex-specific completeness for ages 15+. Completeness for age groups 5-9 and 10-14 was capped at 100%.
For 7 countries with less than 1 million population in 2000-2015, VR death rates were smoothed using a 3-year moving average. Annual mx for ages 5+ were calculated for each VR country-year as:
mx = VR deaths /(WPP population estimate)/(annual age-sex-specific completeness estimate)
While most VR countries had data up to 2012 or 2013, only a few had reported data to WHO for 2014, and none for 2015 at the time of analysis (early 2016). VR-based mx estimates for age groups from 5-9 onwards were projected forward using Poisson regression to estimate the trend in latest 10 years of VR data. Importance weights declining by a factor of 0.85 for each earlier year from last were used to give greater weight to more recent trend. Estimated annual rates of change (ARR) for 5-year age groups were smoothed across age groups using a 3-age group moving average. ARRs not statistically significant were capped within the range of statistically significant ARRs across age groups. The mx values were projected forward to 2015 using an ARR that changed smoothly from the VR-based ARR estimate to the WPP2015- based ARR over a six year period. For most countries, this means that the 2015 estimated mx are quite strongly influenced by the trends in the recent VR data, where for the handful of countries where the latest year was earlier than 2009, the VR trend converged to the WPP trend over the project period.
Annual mx for all age groups from 5-9 onwards were replaced by the VR-based estimates and projections for VR countries for which completeness analyses were carried out with the exception of the following five countries: Singapore, Cyprus, Kuwait, Malaysia and Sri Lanka These five countries had partial VR coverage and/or major fluctuations in implied completeness estimates (see Annex C).

5 Neonatal, Infant and Under-five mortality Mortality rates for infants and age group 1-4 years for the WHO life tables were derived from the UN- IGME estimates of infant mortality rates (IMR) and under 5 mortality rates (U5MR) by sex, for Member States for years 1990-2015 (20). The United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME), which includes UNICEF, WHO, the World Bank and United Nations Population Division, was established in 2004 to advance the work on monitoring progress towards the achievement of Millennium Development Goals regarding child mortality.
UN-IGME annually assesses and adjusts all available surveys, censuses and vital registration data, to estimate country-specific trends in neonatal (NMR), infant (IMR) and under 5 (U5MR) mortality rates per 1,000 live births. All data sources and estimates are documented on the website www.childmortality.org. For countries with complete recording of child deaths in death registration systems, these are used as the source of data for the estimation of trends in neonatal, infant and child mortality. For countries with incomplete death registration, all other available census and survey data sources, which meet quality criteria, are used.
Due to fewer data available by sex than data for both sexes, UN IGME uses available data by sex to estimates time trend in the sex ratio (male/female) of U5MR. Leontine Alkema and Fengqing Chao of the National University of Singapore have developed new Bayesian methods for the UN IGME estimation of sex ratios, with a focus on the estimation and identification of countries with outlying levels or trends (21).
6 WHO estimates of life expectancy and healthy life expectancy
6.1 Life expectancy
Final estimates of age-sex-specific mortality rates for years 1990-2015 were used to compute abridged life tables for 183 WHO Member States with population of 90,000 or greater in 2015. Life expectancies at birth were reported in World Health Statistics 2016: and full life tables are available in the WHO Global Health Observatory (www.who.int/gho). Annex E presents country plots showing the resulting WHO annual estimates of 45q15 by sex for all-cause mortality and for non-HIV mortality excluding disasters and conflict deaths. Five year period estimates of 45q15 from the WPP2015 life tables are shown for comparison.
WHO applies standard methods to the analysis of Member State data to ensure comparability of estimates across countries. This will inevitably result in differences for some Member States with official estimates for quantities such as life expectancy, where a variety of different projection methods and other methods are used. These WHO estimates of mortality and life expectancies should not be regarded as the nationally endorsed statistics of Member States, which may have been derived using alternative methodologies and assumptions.
INSERT SUMMARY OF DATA AVAILABILITY HERE
There remain substantial data gaps and deficiencies in data on levels of child and adult mortality, particularly in those regions with the highest mortality levels. Quantifiable uncertainty ranges for adult mortality are more complex to derive, and there is considerable research underway to develop
World Health Organization Page 14
improved methods for measuring adult mortality in surveys, and in assessing the systematic biases in such data. Table 6 summarizes the availability of data on levels of all-cause mortality for WHO Member States and the methods used to assess mortality and life expectancy.

A qualititative guide to the uncertainty in adult mortality and life expectancy estimates is provided by the listing of methods and data input types in Annex Table A. The most reliable estimates are those based on death registration data assessed as complete, followed by those based on incomplete or sample death registration data with adjustments for levels of completeness. For countries without useable death registration data, uncertainties are substantially higher, and two categories can be distinguished (a) those countries where there is independent evidence on adult mortality rates from surveys or censuses and (b) those where estimates of adult mortality levels are derived from model life tables with estimated infant and child mortality rates as inputs. Those countries with significant levels of mortality due to conflict and natural disasters (say, greater than 1 death per 10,000 population per annum) will usually have additional uncertainty associated with the difficulties in estimating conflict and disaster death rates.
6.2 Healthy life expectancy
WHO has previously published estimates of healthy life expectancy (HLE or HALE) for years 2000 and 2012, drawing on the previous WHO life table series and estimates of years lost to disability (YLD) for disease and injury causes from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 (GBD2010) study (22-24).
The same methods have been used to prepare estimates of healthy life expectancy for WHO Member States for the year 2015 (2), using the updated WHO life tables and projections of YLD for year 2015 based on YLD estimates for 2010 and 2013 from the Global Burden of Disease 2013 (GBD2013) study(25), with similar adjustments to disability weights and prevalences for certain causes as previously (22).

Annex B: Data sources and methods for mortality shocks
Natural disasters
Estimated deaths for major natural disasters were obtained from the EM-DAT/CRED International Disaster Database (1). EM-DAT includes epidemics and some man-made disasters that are classified as transport injuries etc, these are excluded from mortality estimates for natural disasters. Since 2000, three major natural disasters that were associated with more than 100 000 deaths have dominated the picture: the Asia tsunami in 2004; the Myanmar cyclone in 2008; and the Haiti earthquake in 2010 (Figure 1). The number of disasters has been declining in the last decade and the number of people affected reached its lowest levels since 2000 in 2012 and 2013. Out of over one million disaster-related deaths during 2000–2014, 61% occurred in Asia where 60% of the global population live, about one in five people reported killed lived in the Americas. Africa (6%) and Oceania (less than 1% of deaths) had much smaller proportions).
Figure 1 Number of people reported killed in natural and technological disasters, 2000–2014
Age-sex distributions were based on a number of studies of earthquake deaths (2, 3) and tsunami deaths (4, 5).
Conflict deaths
Country-specific estimates of war and conflict deaths have been updated for the entire period 1990- 2015 using revised methods together with information on conflict intensity, time trends, and mortality
World Health Organization Page 35
obtained from a number of war mortality databases (described below). These estimates relate to deaths for which the underlying cause (following ICD conventions) was an injury due to war, civil insurrection or organized conflict, whether or not that injury occurred during the time of war or after cessation of hostilities. The estimates include injury deaths resulting from all organized conflicts, including organized terrorist groups, whether or not a national government was involved. They do not include deaths from other causes (such as starvation, infectious disease epidemics, lack of medical intervention for chronic diseases), which may be counterfactually attributable to war or civil conflict.
Methods used previously by WHO for estimation of direct conflict deaths were developed in the early 2000s and applied adjustment factors for under-reporting to estimates of battlefield or conflict deaths from a variety of published and unpublished conflict mortality databases (5-9). Murray et al. (10) summarized the issues with estimation of war deaths, and emphasized the very considerable uncertainty in the original Global Burden of Disease estimates (11) and subsequent WHO estimates for conflict deaths. WHO published estimates for the years 2000 through 2008 used adjustment factors based on conflict intensity developed from an analysis of likely levels of under-reporting (12-15). These adjustment factors ranged from around 3 to higher than 4 in sub-Saharan Africa.
Obermeyer, Murray and Gakidou (16) more recently analyzed data on deaths due to conflict from post- conflict sibling histories collected in the 2002 to 2003 WHO World Health Survey (WHS) program. They used data from 13 countries with more than 5 reported sibling deaths from war injuries in at least one 10-year period to estimate total war deaths for these countries for the period 1955-2002. The authors then compared their estimates of war deaths to the number of war deaths estimated in the UCDP Battle Deaths database (17) to derive an average adjustment factor of 2.96. Garfield and Blore (18) noted that a very small number of war deaths for Georgia resulted in an outlier ratio of 12.0 which heavily influenced the overall ratio of 2.96. They reanalyzed the WHS-derived war deaths dataset excluding Georgia, to obtain an overall revised adjustment factor of 2.21.
The revised WHO country-specific estimates of war and conflict deaths for the period 1990-2015 make use of estimates of direct deaths from three datasets: Battle-Related Deaths (version 5), Non-State Conflict Dataset (UCDP version 2.4), and One-sided Violence Dataset (UCDP version 1.4) from 1989 to 2011 (19-21). Using these three datasets, instead of focusing solely on battle-related deaths, reduces the likelihood that overall direct conflict deaths are underestimated. However, it is likely that a degree of undercounting still occurs in the count-based datasets, and a revised adjustment factor of 1.91 has been applied to the annual battle death main estimates for state-state conflicts. No adjustments were applied to estimated conflict deaths (main estimates) for non-state conflict deaths, and one-sided violence.
The adjustment factor 1.91 is the average of the factor of 2.21 obtained by Garfield and Blore (18) and of a factor of 1.66 derived from comparing total deaths in the UCDP battle deaths dataset with those estimated by the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) for the years 1989-2008 (22). As shown in the graph below, the PRIO estimates are systematically higher than those of the UCDP.
World Health Organization Page 36
The UCDP dataset is compiled primarily by counting the annual total of combat-related fatalities (national and global) from reports of fatalities in individual violent incidents (battles, clashes, etc.) in each state-based conflict. UCDP uses a variety of sources, including news reports, reports from human rights organizations and nongovernmental organizations, etc. Since it is highly unlikely that all reports of battle deaths will be recorded—particularly in conflicts where outside observers are banned from war zones—this methodology will almost certainly underestimate the actual number of battle deaths. By contrast, the PRIO dataset relies heavily on summary estimates—i.e., expert assessments of overall fatalities. There is no reason to assume that summary estimates will systematically undercount battle deaths as does UCDP’s incident-based estimation method.
Note that the application of a single adjustment factor for all state-state conflicts may result in deaths for specific conflicts being over- or under-estimated. For the following countries, the multiplier was adjusted downwards for low intensity years: Mexico (drug gangs), DR Congo, Columbia, Eritrea/Ethiopia (1990-2000). For these conflict, estimated deaths from other sources suggest that UCDP figures provide reasonable estimates without additional adjustment. For several conflicts where more specific sources of information are available, these have been used to revise estimated deaths:
Iraq (81, 82).
Iraq The conflict death toll in Iraq following the US-led invasion in March 2003 has been the
subject of much discussion with estimates for violent deaths to end June 2006 ranging from 47,668 (Iraq Body Count) to 601,027 in a 2006 household survey (). The Iraq Family Health Survey (IFHS), conducted in 2006-2007 by relevant Iraq Government Ministries in collaboration with WHO, provided new evidence on mortality in Iraq for the three years post-invasion (24). Latest counts of reported deaths in Iraq by the Iraq Body Count (25) were compared with conflict deaths for the period 2003-2006 estimated from the Iraq Family Health Survey 2006 (24). This nationally representative
World Health Organization Page 37
survey of 9,345 households included questions on deaths of adult siblings of respondents, and deaths in the household. Sibling deaths were used to estimate adult mortality rates using the Gakidou-King method (26). Calendar year adjustment factors for under-reporting in the Iraq Body Count data ranged from 3.3 (2003) and 3.4 (2004) to 2.3 (2006) and 2.2 (2007). An average adjustment factor of 2.17 was applied to Iraq Body Count data for more recent years to derive a time series of estimated total conflict deaths in Iraq.
Occupied Palestinian Territories. Estimates of Israeli and Palestinian deaths were derived from statistics
published by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) - Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) (27) and the The Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (28).
Syria For Syria, excess mortality in 2011 and 2012 due to the conflict was taken into account
based on UN estimates of overall conflict deaths by month and age distribution of deaths (29, 30), as well as estimates by various human rights organizations (31, 32).
US, UK and the coalition of the willing. Military deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq were compiled from
various official sources and summary tables available on websites.
Deaths due to landmines and unexploded ordinance were estimated separately by country (33). Deaths from terrorist events were separately estimated for many countries without ongoing general conflict using data from the Global Terrorism Database (90) and Terrorism deaths. Terrorism deaths from this database were not added to conflict deaths for Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and a number of African countries to avoid potential double counting.
Legal execution deaths are included in this cause category for GHE2015. Estimated execution deaths were added for the main countries using capital punishment regularly (China, Iran, Iraq, DPR Korea, Saudi Arabia, USA and Yemen), from UN Human Rights Reports, with additional information from Amnesty International reports, Human Rights Watch reports and Wikipedia.
Age-sex distributions for conflict deaths were revised based on available distributions of conflict deaths by age and sex for specific conflicts (10, 16, 24, 25, 27, 35, 36) and on age-patterns for certain country- periods with high conflict deaths included in the WPP2015 life tables (37).
The following tables summarizes and compares various time series of conflict deaths estimates.

The revised WHO estimates for total conflict deaths (in the final column) are considerably lower than the previous WHO estimates for years 2000-2008 which used the earlier higher adjustment factor for under-reporting, which in turn are lower than the previous estimates and projections in the original Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study (11). The recently estimates for conflict deaths published by IHME in the GBD 2013 study, shown in the rightmost column, are considerable lower than the revised WHO estimates. The IHME estimates are also lower than the main estimate from the UCDC databases for the same year. The IHME methods were based on a regression analysis of available all-cause mortality data for country-years in which battle deaths were reported in various databases. Lozano et al (41) cite (43) for more detailed documentation of their methods. The latter publication does not appear to exist.
