The Human Mortality Database (HMD) is the world's leading scientific data resource on mortality in developed countries. The HMD provides detailed high-quality harmonized mortality and population estimates to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in human longevity. The HMD follows open data principles.

We continue to add new data series to this collection. However, the database is limited by design to populations where death registration and census data are virtually complete, since this type of information is required for the uniform method used to reconstruct historical data series. As a result, the countries and areas included here are relativ...
Our process for computing mortality rates and life tables can be described in terms of six steps, corresponding to six data types that are available from the HMD. Here is an overview of the process: 1. Births. Annual counts of live births by sex are collected for each population over the longest possible time period. These counts are used mainly fo...
Cause-of-death time series are severely disrupted by periodic changes in disease classifications. Existing international databases do not fix this problem. The information provided by the WHO databaseprovides death counts classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) at the time when they were collected. Periodic change...
The data presented here have been corrected for gross errors (e.g., a processing error whereby 3,800 becomes 38,000 in a published statistical table would be obvious in most cases, and it would be corrected). However, we have not attempted to correct the data for systematic age misstatement (misreporting of age) or coverage errors(over- or under-en...
Populations are included here if there is a well-founded belief that the coverage of their census and vital registration systems is high, and thus, that fruitful analyses by both specialists and non-specialists should be possible with these data. Nevertheless, there is evidence of both age heaping (overreporting ages ending in "0" or "5") and age e...
A key goal of this project is to follow a uniform set of procedures for each population and time period. This approach does not guarantee the cross-national comparability of the data. Rather, it ensures only that we have not introduced biases by our own manipulations. Our desire for uniformity had to face the challenge that raw data come in a varie...

The WHO Mortality Database collects and displays death registration data with cause-of-death information from over 120 countries and areas. Users can explore mortality by cause, year, sex, and age, and learn about the history and quality of the data.
The Human Mortality Database (HMD) was created to provide detailed mortality and population data to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in the history of human longevity.
Overview. The Human Mortality Database (HMD) contains original calculations of death rates and life tables for national populations (countries or areas), as well as the input data used in constructing those tables. The input data consist of death counts from vital statistics, plus census counts, birth counts, and population estimates from ...
