Food insecurity and shortages were common throughout this time period and were matched with the high food prices and high unemployment rate. [4] This is shown through the differences in mortality rates between the lower and upper class, with poor infants being up to two times more likely to die than their wealthier counterparts. [2]
The list is based on CIA World Factbook 2023 estimates, unless indicated otherwise. Many developing countries have far higher proportions of young people, and lower proportions of older people, than some developed countries, and thus may have much higher age-specific mortality rates while having lower crude mortality rates.

Influenza significantly contributed to England's unusually high death rates for 1557–58: [37] [7] Data compiled on over 100 parishes in England found that the mortality rates increased by up to 60% in some areas during the flu epidemic, [7] even though diseases like true plague were not heavily present in England at the time.

Alternatively, if a human population density based on that of modern medium to large-bodied carnivores, whose median density is 0.0275 individuals per km 2 and whose mean density is 0.0384 individuals per km 2, is used, a total Afro-Eurasian human population of 2,120,000 to 2,950,000 is obtained.
John F. Richards estimated the following world populations from the early modern period, 1500–1800. [7] 1500 world population 400-500 million; 1600 world population 500-600 million; 1700 world population 600-700 million; 1800 world population 850-950 million; In the 18th century world population entered a period of accelerated growth.
The following is a list of the causes of human deaths worldwide for different years arranged by their associated mortality rates. In 2002, there were about 57 million deaths. In 2005, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), about 58 million people died. [1]
The crude death rate is defined as "the mortality rate from all causes of death for a population," calculated as the "total number of deaths during a given time interval" divided by the "mid-interval population", per 1,000 or 100,000; for instance, the population of the United States was around 290,810,000 in 2003, and in that year, approximately 2,419,900 deaths occurred in total, giving a ...
