The Human Mortality Database (HMD) is the world's leading scientific data resource on mortality in developed countries. The HMD provides detailed high-quality harmonized mortality and population estimates to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in human longevity. The HMD follows open data principles.
Data by country or area
The entire HMD has been updated to include period age-standardized death rates (SDR) by sex and year, based on the two European Population Standards, 1976 and 2013 (see Section 6.4 of the Methods Protocol).
To facilitate rapid downloads, the database has been organized into zipped data files.
