Mortality from CVD, cancer, diabetes or CRD between exact ages 30 and 70, female (%)

This indicator reflects the percentage of women, starting at age 30, who are projected to succumb to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease before reaching 70 years of age. It offers a critical insight into the long-term health risks these chronic conditions pose to middle-aged women, based on current mortality rates. The calculation assumes a hypothetical scenario where individuals experience age-specific mortality without the influence of other causes, such as accidents or infectious diseases. By focusing specifically on female mortality, this metric highlights disparities in health outcomes and can inform targeted healthcare interventions, policy decisions, and resource allocation aimed at improving the longevity and quality of life for women facing these significant health challenges.
