Respiratory disease death rates by age, World, 1990 to 2017

Death rates from respiratory disease measured per 100,000 individuals across various age categories. Also shown is the total death rate across all ages (not
age-standardized) and the age-standardized death rate. Age-standardization assumes a constant population age & structure to allow for comparisons between
countries and with time without the effects of a changing age distribution within a population (e.g. aging).
