- 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.May 2018Aging and Life Course
