    Adult mortality rates show distinct gender disparities in developing nations. Females generally experience a more consistent decline in mortality compared to males, who face stagnation in some regions.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Adult mortality (ages 15-65) is a key indicator of population health and development.
    • Understanding gender-specific trends in adult mortality is crucial for targeted public health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze adult mortality trends between ages 15 and 65 in selected developing countries.
    • To compare gender-specific patterns in adult mortality decline.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of reliable adult mortality data from selected developing countries.
    • Comparative country-level assessment of mortality trends.

    Main Results:

    • Females consistently demonstrated a more sustained and systematic decline in adult mortality than males.

  • Some countries, like Mexico, exhibit a significant excess of male mortality despite development.
  • Certain nations observed a stagnation in male mortality decline while female mortality continued to decrease.

    • Conclusions:

    • Significant gender-based disparities exist in adult mortality trends across developing countries.
    • Male mortality patterns are more susceptible to stagnation and exhibit greater variability compared to females.
    • Targeted strategies may be needed to address the persistent excess male mortality in specific developing contexts.
