Projected Mortality Rates for Chinese Elderly with Persistent Abdominal Obesity

Projected numbers and mortality rates for all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and non-cardiovascular disease deaths in China's population aged 65 and older under a persistent abdominal obesity scenario. The dataset was authored by Yujing Zhou and last updated in April 2026. It is a small, focused projection file of 9.5 KB in size.

Use Cases

• Analyze projected trends in cardiovascular disease mortality rate for the elderly population.
• Compare projected numbers of all-cause deaths against non-cardiovascular disease deaths.
• Model the long-term public health impact of the persistent abdominal obesity scenario on mortality.

Strengths

• Projections are specifically focused on the persistent abdominal obesity scenario, providing a clear use case.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse and sharing.
• Includes distinct mortality categories: all-cause, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary table rather than raw data.
• Projections are based on a single, specific scenario (persistent abdominal obesity), limiting generalizability.
• No sample data or column details are available to assess structure or granularity.
