Number of deaths ages 20-24 years

This indicator captures the fatalities occurring within the youthful demographic aged 20 to 24 years, a critical period that bridges early adulthood and emerging independence. Analyzing mortality rates in this age group provides valuable insight into broader social determinants of health, such as access to healthcare, mental health challenges, substance abuse, and the impact of socioeconomic factors. Additionally, it highlights the significance of preventable causes of death—particularly accidents, violence, and health-related issues—which can inform targeted interventions. Understanding these trends is essential for policymakers and public health officials seeking to enhance youth safety and well-being, ultimately contributing to healthier communities and reduced mortality in this vulnerable age bracket.
