Document Summary: 
The World Mortality Report 2017, prepared by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), provides an overview of the patterns, levels and trends in mortality at the national, regional and global level during 1950-2015, drawn from demographic estimates for 233 countries or areas, as published in the 2017 revision of World Population Prospects (United Nations, 2017). The analysis focuses on country and regional data for selected mortality indicators. In addition to examining the summary indicator of life expectancy at birth, the report analyses levels and trends in mortality for key age groups in childhood and provides a snapshot of adult and “old age” mortality levels.
