  • Income inequality and its relationship with loneliness prevalence: A cross-sectional study among older adults in the US and 16 European countries
    Backgrounds: The prevalence of loneliness increases among older adults, varies across countries, and is related to within-country socioeconomic, psychosocial, and health factors. The 2000–2019 pooled prevalence of loneliness among adults 60 years and older went from 5.2% in Northern Europe to 24% in Eastern Europe, while in the US was 56% in 2012. The relationship between country-level factors…

  • Life expectancy at birth (years)
    This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the average age that a newborn would likely live to, if he/she were affected by the sex- and age-specific death rates linked to the time of his/her birth, for a specific year and country/territory/geographic area. This is an important measurement since life expectancy at birth points to a population's overall mortality level.

  • Adult mortality rate (probability of dying between 15 and 60 years per 1000 population)
    This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the probability of someone dying from the ages of 15 to 60 years old per a population of 1000 people each year. This is an important measurement because, in developing countries, disease burden from non-communicable diseases among adults is rising. Therefore, adult mortality is an indicator of a population's mortality pattern.

  • The context and causes of the suicide of Indigenous people in Australia
    When comparing suicide in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) population to that in the non-Indigenous populations of Australia, there are significant differences in the rates of suicide and the age groups at risk of suicide. The etiology of these differences includes a history of colonisation and its aftermath including a burden of intergenerational trauma in the Indigenous…
