    Global Health Estimates:


    Life expectancy and leading
    causes of death and
    disability
    WHO’s Global Health Estimates provide the latest available data on causes of death and
    disability globally, by WHO region and country, by age, sex and by income group. 
    These estimates are produced using data from multiple sources, including national vital
    registration data, latest estimates from WHO technical programmes, United Nations partners
    and inter-agency groups, the Global Burden of Disease and other scientific studies. Before
    publishing, the GHE are reviewed by WHO Member States via consultation with national focal
    points and WHO country and regional offices.

    Causes of death by sex
    For death and disability disaggregated by sex, annual global deaths and DALYs among
    women were around 15% lower than for men. However, women collectively spent about 20%
    more years living with disability (YLDs). In the past two decades, the greatest increase in
    female deaths has been from Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, with nearly a threefold
    increase. These neurological disorders kill more females than males, with about 80% more
    deaths and 70% more DALYs for women than for men.
