FACTOID # 1: Moldova has one of the smallest artillery forces in Europe, and the highest rate in the world of death by powered lawnmower. Coincidence? Surely not.

DEFINITION: Total for all ages and sexes. Database compiled January 2004. Total of figures for:
  • All causesl> The mortality statistics consist of deaths registered in national vital registration systems, as submitted to the World Health Organisation. Underlying cause of death is listed as coded by the relevant national authority. Death registration coverage and cross-national differences in coding practices, particularly in the use of codes for ill-defined and unknown causes, must be taken into account to validly compare mortality rates for specific causes across countries. Great caution should therefore be taken when doing inter-country comparisons. The "mortality" statistics listed here are therefore best thought of as an indication of the data being recorded by various nations, rather than as an accurate indicator of real causes of death.

NOTES: These statistics are derived from official causes of death detailed on certificates of death by each country. Rather than being a true indicator of the number of deaths attributed to a particular cause, mortality statistics reveal more about a particular country's reporting processes.

COMMENTARY

18th September 2009 		That's actually quite fascinating - apparently socio-expectations and such are more stringent in more developed countries for men.
Ian Graham

10th March 2005 		Medical researchers long believed that people in developing countries had lower cancer rates because they didn’t live as long. But a study released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer shows more women die of cancer in poor countries than in rich ones. However, 18 percent more men die of cancer in developed nations.

Colon, rectum, breast and prostate cancer - which can be caused by obesity, lack of exercise, diet and age – were most common in rich countries. Cancers of the liver, stomach and esophagus – often linked to smoked and salted foods and organ-attacking parasitic infections – were more frequent in the developing world.

Lung, stomach and liver cancers are the most lethal, accounting for 37 percent of 6.7 million cancer deaths in 2002. Among women, breast cancer was the most common, but survival rates were 73 percent in developed countries and 57 percent in developing countries.
