Understanding the Global Distribution of HIV/AIDS Deaths

Introduction:

HIV/AIDS remains one of the most significant public health challenges globally, with its impact varying widely across countries and regions. While the overall share of deaths attributed to HIV/AIDS stands at around 1.5% globally, this statistic belies the stark disparities observed on a country-by-country basis. This essay delves into the global distribution of deaths from HIV/AIDS, examining both the overarching trends and the localized impacts across different regions, particularly focusing on Southern Sub-Saharan Africa.

Understanding Global Trends:

At a global level, HIV/AIDS accounts for approximately 1.5% of all deaths. This figure, though relatively low in comparison to other causes of mortality, represents a significant burden on public health systems and communities worldwide. However, when zooming in on specific regions, such as Europe, the share of deaths attributable to HIV/AIDS drops significantly, often comprising less than 0.1% of total mortality. This pattern suggests varying levels of prevalence and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment strategies across different parts of the world.

Regional Disparities:

The distribution of HIV/AIDS deaths is not uniform across the globe, with certain regions experiencing disproportionately high burdens. Southern Sub-Saharan Africa emerges as a focal point of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with a significant portion of deaths attributed to the virus occurring in this region. Factors such as limited access to healthcare, socio-economic disparities, cultural stigmatization, and insufficient education about HIV/AIDS contribute to the heightened prevalence and impact of the disease in this area.

Southern Sub-Saharan Africa: A Hotspot for HIV/AIDS Deaths:

Within Southern Sub-Saharan Africa, countries such as South Africa, Botswana, and Swaziland stand out for their exceptionally high rates of HIV/AIDS-related mortality. In these nations, HIV/AIDS can account for up to a quarter of all deaths, highlighting the acute nature of the epidemic in these regions. The reasons behind this disproportionate burden are multifaceted, encompassing issues ranging from inadequate healthcare infrastructure to socio-cultural barriers inhibiting prevention and treatment efforts.

Challenges and Responses:

Addressing the unequal distribution of HIV/AIDS deaths necessitates a multi-faceted approach that encompasses both prevention and treatment strategies tailored to the specific needs of affected communities. Efforts to expand access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), promote comprehensive sexual education, combat stigma, and strengthen healthcare systems are crucial components of an effective response. Moreover, fostering partnerships between governments, civil society organizations, and international entities is essential for coordinating resources and expertise to tackle the HIV/AIDS epidemic comprehensively.

Lessons Learned and Future Directions:

The global distribution of deaths from HIV/AIDS underscores the importance of context-specific interventions that take into account the unique social, economic, and cultural factors influencing the spread and impact of the disease. While progress has been made in reducing HIV/AIDS-related mortality in some regions, much work remains to be done, particularly in areas where the burden of the epidemic remains disproportionately high. Going forward, sustained investment in research, healthcare infrastructure, and community empowerment initiatives will be vital for achieving meaningful reductions in HIV/AIDS deaths worldwide.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the global distribution of deaths from HIV/AIDS reveals a complex landscape characterized by both overarching trends and localized disparities. While the overall share of deaths attributable to HIV/AIDS may seem relatively modest on a global scale, the stark contrasts observed across different countries and regions underscore the need for targeted interventions tailored to the specific contexts in which the epidemic is most pronounced. By addressing the underlying social, economic, and healthcare-related factors driving the unequal distribution of HIV/AIDS deaths, the global co...

This dataset contains counts of deaths for California counties based on information entered on death certificates. Final counts are derived from static data and include out-of-state deaths to California residents, whereas provisional counts are derived from incomplete and dynamic data. Provisional counts are based on the records available when the data was retrieved and may not represent all deaths that occurred during the time period. Deaths involving injuries from external or environmental forces, such as accidents, homicide and suicide, often require additional investigation that tends to delay certification of the cause and manner of death. This can result in significant under-reporting of these deaths in provisional data.

The final data tables include both deaths that occurred in each California county regardless of the place of residence (by occurrence) and deaths to residents of each California county (by residence), whereas the provisional data table only includes deaths that occurred in each county regardless of the place of residence (by occurrence). The data are reported as totals, as well as stratified by age, gender, race-ethnicity, and death place type. Deaths due to all causes (ALL) and selected underlying cause of death categories are provided. See temporal coverage for more information on which combinations are available for which years.

The cause of death categories are based solely on the underlying cause of death as coded by the International Classification of Diseases. The underlying cause of death is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury." It is a single value assigned to each death based on the details as entered on the death certificate. When more than one cause is listed, the order in which they are listed can affect which cause is coded as the underlying cause. This means that similar events could be coded with different underlying causes of death depending on variations in how they were entered. Consequently, while underlying cause of death provides a convenient comparison between cause of death categories, it may not capture the full impact of each cause of death as it does not always take into account all conditions contributing to the death.

56 million people died in 2017. What did they die from?

The Global Burden of Disease is a major global study on the causes of death and disease published in the medical journal The Lancet. These estimates of the annual number of deaths dataset are shown here.

Downloaded https://ourworldindata.org/causes-of-death dataset from first chart as CSV. Loaded the raw file in tableau prep for exploratory data distribution and applying some pivoting and cleaning. The output were uploaded in this dataset as well the original raw file.

Please notice the raw file have some country agrupations by region, but there is no data indicating it's an aggregation, so be careful analyzing the whole dataset guessing there are just countries as level of detail data. In order to be more accurate, I begin to analyze countries using the ISO Country code ("Code" named column). If you have no clue as me what country ZAF is, Google is your best friend (South Africa) 😉.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains mortality rates for 122 U.S. cities in 2016, including deaths by age group and cause of death. The data can be used to study various trends in mortality and contribute to the understanding of how different diseases impact different age groups across the country.

In order to use the data, firstly one has to identify which variables they would like to use from this dataset. These include: reporting area; MMWR week; All causes by age greater than 65 years; All causes by age 45-64 years; All causes by age 25-44 years; All causes by age 1-24 years; All causes less than 1 year old; Pneumonia and Influenza total fatalities; Location (1 & 2); flag indicating reliability of data.

Once you have identified the variables that you are interested in,you will need to filter the dataset so that it only includes relevant information for your analysis or research purposes. For example, if you are looking at trends between different ages, then all you would need is information on those 3 specific cause groups (greater than 65, 45-64 and 25-44). You can do this using a selection tool that allows you to pick only certain columns from your data set or an excel filter tool if your data is stored as a csv file type .

Next step is preparing your data - it’s important for efficient analysis also helpful when there are too many variables/columns which can confuse our analysis process – eliminate unnecessary columns, rename column labels where needed etc ... In addition , make sure we clean up any missing values / outliers / incorrect entries before further investigation .Remember , outliers or corrupt entries may lead us into incorrect conclusions upon analyzing our set ! Once we complete the cleaning steps , now its safe enough transit into drawing insights !

The last step involves using statistical methods such as linear regression with multiple predictors or descriptive statistical measures such as mean/median etc ..to draw key insights based on analysis done so far and generate some actionable points !

With these steps taken care off , now its easier for anyone who decides dive into another project involving this particular dataset with added advantage formulated out of existing work done over our previous investigations!

Research Ideas

• Creating population health profiles for cities in the U.S.
• Tracking public health trends across different age groups

Data for deaths by leading cause of death categories are now available in the death profiles dataset for each geographic granularity. The cause of death categories are based solely on the underlying cause of death as coded by the International Classification of Diseases. The underlying cause of death is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury." It is a single value assigned to each death based on the details as entered on the death certificate. When more than one cause is listed, the order in which they are listed can affect which cause is coded as the underlying cause. This means that similar events could be coded with different underlying causes of death depending on variations in how they were entered. Consequently, while underlying cause of death provides a convenient comparison between cause of death categories, it may not capture the full impact of each cause of death as it does not always take into account all conditions contributing to the death. Cause of death categories for years 1999 and later are based on tenth revision of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes. Comparable categories are provided for years 1979 through 1998 based on ninth revision (ICD-9) codes. For more information on the comparability of cause of death classification between ICD revisions see Comparability of Cause-of-death Between ICD Revisions.

Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.

The difficulties of death figures

This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.

Where are these numbers coming from?

The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

Effect of suicide rates on life expectancy dataset

Abstract
In 2015, approximately 55 million people died worldwide, of which 8 million committed suicide. In the USA, one of the main causes of death is the aforementioned suicide, therefore, this experiment is dealing with the question of how much suicide rates affects the statistics of average life expectancy.
The experiment takes two datasets, one with the number of suicides and life expectancy in the second one and combine data into one dataset. Subsequently, I try to find any patterns and correlations among the variables and perform statistical test using simple regression to confirm my assumptions.

Data

The experiment uses two datasets - WHO Suicide Statistics[1] and WHO Life Expectancy[2], which were firstly appropriately preprocessed. The final merged dataset to the experiment has 13 variables, where country and year are used as index: Country, Year, Suicides number, Life expectancy, Adult Mortality, which is probability of dying between 15 and 60 years per 1000 population, Infant deaths, which is number of Infant Deaths per 1000 population, Alcohol, which is alcohol, recorded per capita (15+) consumption, Under-five deaths, which is number of under-five deaths per 1000 population, HIV/AIDS, which is deaths per 1 000 live births HIV/AIDS, GDP, which is Gross Domestic Product per capita, Population, Income composition of resources, which is Human Development Index in terms of income composition of resources, and Schooling, which is number of years of schooling.
