Abstract
Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division,
Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of
previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of
the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent
with the estimates of the numbers of deaths in the GBD. The present iteration of the GBD, GBD 2017, improves on
previous assessments and provides timely estimates of the mortality experience of populations globally.
