Missing Indicators

The following indicators are requested but could not be found in the source data:

From mort_100 (total deaths):

  1. all_causes_deaths_in_children_1_59_months_total_deaths - No "all causes" entity exists in childcause dimension. May need to be calculated by summing all causes.
  2. all_causes_deaths_in_newborn_total_deaths - No "all causes" entity exists in childcause dimension. May need to be calculated by summing all causes.
  3. pertussis_deaths_in_children_1_59_months_total_deaths - No pertussis entity found in childcause dimension. Pertussis might be included in another category or requires a different source indicator.

From mort_200 (death rates per 1000 births):

  1. all_causes_deaths_in_children_1_59_months_per_1000_births - No "all causes" entity exists in childcause dimension. May need to be calculated by summing all causes.
  2. all_causes_deaths_in_newborn_per_1000_births - No "all causes" entity exists in childcause dimension. May need to be calculated by summing all causes.
  3. pertussis_deaths_in_children_1_59_months_per_1000_births - No pertussis entity found in childcause dimension. Pertussis might be included in another category or requires a different source indicator.
  4. other_deaths_in_newborn_per_1000_births - childcause_ch19 (Other Group 1 and Other noncommunicable) exists in mort_100 (total deaths) but does NOT exist in mort_200 (death rates) for the newborn age group. This is a data availability issue in the source dataset.

From health expenditure indicators:

  1. total_health_spending_per_person_international_dollar - Current health expenditure (CHE) per capita in PPP - Not available in source dataset. Only the US$ version (ghed_che_pc_us_sha2011) exists.
  2. government_health_spending_per_person_international_dollar - Domestic general government health expenditure (GGHE-D) per capita in PPP - Not available in source dataset. Only the US$ version (ghed_gghe_d_pc_us_sha2011) exists.

Specific information about this indicator

BMI Indicators (body_mass_index_bmi_men_kgperm2, body_mass_index_bmi_women_kgperm2)

Important Note on Age Group Selection:

The source data (ncd_bmi_meanc from WHO GHO) does not contain a standardized "all ages" category. Available age groups in the source data are:

  • agegroup_age20_plus - 20+ years
  • agegroup_years05_09 - 5-9 years
  • agegroup_years05_19 - 5-19 years
  • agegroup_years10_19 - 10-19 years
  • agegroup_years18_plus - 18+ years

For this dataset, we use agegroup_years18_plus (18+ years) as the standardized age group for adult BMI measurements. This is NOT "all ages" but rather represents the adult population (18 years and older).

This choice was made because:

  1. BMI is typically measured and interpreted differently for children vs adults
  2. The 18+ age group represents a clinically meaningful population for adult BMI assessment
  3. No true "all ages" aggregate exists in the source data
