World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision

Standard variants (Updated: 28 June 2011)

Mortality

Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)

Probability of dying between birth and exact age 1. It is expressed as deaths per 1,000 births.

Under-five Mortality (5q0)

Probability of dying between birth and exact age 5. It is expressed as deaths per 1,000 births.

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

Number of deaths over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of deaths per 1,000 population.

Deaths - Both Sexes

Number of deaths over a given period. Refers to five-year periods running from 1 July to 30 June of the initial and final years. Data are presented in thousands.

Deaths - Female

Number of female deaths over a given period. Refers to five-year periods running from 1 July to 30 June of the initial and final years. Data are presented in thousands.

Deaths - Male

Number of male deaths over a given period. Refers to five-year periods running from 1 July to 30 June of the initial and final years. Data are presented in thousands.

Deaths by Age Groups - Both Sexes

Number of deaths by five-year age groups.

Deaths by Age Groups - Female

Number of female deaths by five-year age groups.

Deaths by Age Groups - Male

Number of male deaths by five-year age groups.

Life Expectancy at Birth - Both Sexes

The average number of years of life expected by a hypothetical cohort of individuals who would be subject during all their lives to the mortality rates of a given period. It is expressed as years.

Life Expectancy at Birth - Female

The average number of years of life expected by a hypothetical cohort of females who would be subject during all their lives to the mortality rates of a given period. It is expressed as years.

Life Expectancy at Birth - Male

The average number of years of life expected by a hypothetical cohort of males who would be subject during all their lives to the mortality rates of a given period. It is expressed as years.

45q15 - Both Sexes

Adult Mortality: Probability of Dying between Age 15 and Age 60 (45q15) - Both Sexes

45q15 - Female

Adult Mortality: Probability of Dying between Age 15 and Age 60 (45q15) - Female

45q15 - Male

Adult Mortality: Probability of Dying between Age 15 and Age 60 (45q15) - Male
