Total Deaths

Total Deaths represent the total number of deaths occurring during a certain period. Like how life expectancy is measured, this measures the population's overall health by measuring the rate of deaths from all causes. Death is calculated by dividing the total number of deaths from a disease by the total population.

India, China, the United States, Russia, and Nigeria are among the top five countries with the highest number of deaths in the world in 2021. Montserrat, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Nauru, Saint Helena, Cook Islands, and Anguilla were among the nations with the lowest number of deaths globally in 2021.
