The mortality rate for respiratory system diseases in Canada is projected to see a gradual increase from 71.3 deaths per 100,000 persons in 2024 to 72.6 in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.4% to 0.5% over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period further underscores a steady rise, maintaining a similar rate.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of public health interventions, changes in healthcare access, and advancements in treatments which could alter these forecasts. Environmental factors, such as air quality, are also key determinants and could significantly influence mortality rates.
