Adult mortality

Of 1,000 people aged 15, how many would die before 60 at this year's death rates.

The adult mortality rate is the probability that a 15-year-old dies before turning 60, per 1,000, if the death rates of that year held. It captures deaths in working age, from illness, accidents and violence, which child mortality and life expectancy at birth blur. Men die younger than women almost everywhere. The UN Population Division estimates the rates in its World Population Prospects, and the World Bank republishes them.
