Notes: Break in series in 1987 and 1997 for Switzerland; in 1995 for Switzerland; in 1996 for Netherlands; in 1998 for Australia, Belgium, and Germany; in 1999 for United States; in 2000 for Canada and France; and in 2001 in the United Kingdom. All breaks in series coincide with changes in ICD coding.
Mortality rates have fallen steadily in the U.S. and in comparable OECD countries

Martin McKee, “Measuring the health of Nations: Updating an Earlier Analysis,” Health Affairs 27, no. 1 (2008): 58-71. Age-standardization is based on the WHO methodology and not the same method used by Nolte and McKee.
