Causes contributing to less than 1% of total deaths are not shown.
Causes where there were significant differences in mortality between the UK and EU15+ are highlighted in red.
*For EU15+ countries without data to 2015, we used lagged mean number of deaths over the 3 years prior to the latest available data year in Poisson regression models for all countries except Greece, where data were only available for 2014.
†Mean annual number of deaths between 2013 and 2015 in the UK rounded to the nearest whole number.
DUBE, diabetes/urological/blood/endocrine disorders; EU15+, European Union countries pre-2004, Norway, Australia and Canada; IRR, incidence rate ratio; NCD, non-communicable disease.
