Sources: TRCHS 1999, TDHS 2004/05, THMIS 2007/08. Survey estimates are assigned to nearest “middle
year” 33 with exponential trend line.
33 Each survey measures mortality in the five years preceding the survey. For the purpose of trend estimation,
we have assigned the survey estimate to the middle year of the period measured.
