Life expectancy

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations.

Annual estimates for prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are available from the GBD 2021 Results Tool. Estimates are available by age and sex for 1990-2021.

Select tables and a supplementary results appendix published in "Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021" are available for download from this record.

Mortality rate estimates were produced at the county level in the United States, for 19 causes of death and by racial/ethnic group, for each year between 2000-2019. These estimates were generated using population and deaths data from the National Center for Health Statistics.

This dataset includes the following:

• CSV files of county-, state-, and national-level estimates of mortality rates and life expectancy for each age group, sex, year, and racial-ethnic group (non-Hispanic White [White], non-Hispanic Black [Black], non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander [Asian], non-Hispanic American Indian Alaska Native [AIAN], and Hispanic or Latino [Latino]).
