From: Male mortality rates mirror mortality rates of older females
Men achieve mortality rates equal to that of women aged 50 many years earlier. Equivalent mortality (EQ) at age X expresses how much earlier men achieve the same mortality rates as women aged X. For example, an EQ. 50 of 10 means that men aged 40 exhibit the same mortality rates as women aged 50. The y axis captures how differences in age with the same mortality rates high-income over a ten-year-long period in the studied countries and cohorts.
