The standardized death rates for mental and behavioural disorders among women in Japan stood at 8.5 per hundred thousand in 2023. Data forecasts indicate a gradual increase from 8.6 in 2024 to 9.1 in 2028. The year-on-year percentage change shows a consistent rise, with 2024 and 2025 both exhibiting a 1.2% increase from their preceding years, and 2026-2028 showing minor yet steady increments.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is approximately 1.35% per year, reflecting a moderate but consistent upward trend in mortality rates for these disorders.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of aging, mental health infrastructure improvements, and socio-economic factors influencing mental health care access and effectiveness. Monitoring policy changes and advances in mental health treatments could also provide insights into future shifts in these mortality rates.
