Global Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases Mortality by Country

In 2023, Mexico and South Africa recorded the highest mortality rates from endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases among females, surpassing 200 and 170 deaths per 100,000 women, respectively. Eastern European countries like Croatia also reported significant rates, while many Western nations such as Belgium, Netherlands, and the UK showed lower figures. Notably, Japan and Iceland exhibited some of the lowest rates, under 15. Year-on-year variations indicate notable increases in Estonia and Costa Rica, whereas Portugal, Greece, and Slovakia experienced declines. The average variation over the last five years highlights a sharp increase in Estonia and a general stabilization in Western countries.

Future trends to watch include the impact of health policies targeting lifestyle diseases, evolving healthcare systems in developing regions, and the influence of socioeconomic factors on mortality rates. Critical emerging markets may experience shifts due to improved healthcare access and nutritional education, while developed nations may focus on mitigating lifestyle-related conditions, potentially stabilizing mortality rates further.
