Global adult mortality rate 1990-2020, by gender
Over the past three decades, the global death rates of both genders decreased. However, there has been an increase since 2017 among women and 2018 among men, which must, in part, be seen in relation with the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, there were 172 deaths per 1,000 men between 15 and 60 years, and 119 per 1,000 women of the same age.
