Causes of death and disability can be grouped into three large categories: communicable (infectious diseases, along with maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions), noncommunicable (chronic diseases) and injuries. Monitoring the yearly number of deaths helps to address their causes and adapt health systems to react effectively, triggering responses of multiple sectors: from transportation (in addressing road traffic accidents) to food and agriculture (in tackling the rise in diabetes prevalence) and mental health support (in early detection of mental health conditions).
