Most Deadly Diseases by Country

This chart shows the Most Deadly Diseases by Country.

This map shows which disease is most likely to kill you depending on where you live.

Using data from the World Health Organization we labeled every country in the world with the disease that caused the most deaths within the nation.The biggest factors are related to environment and diet (cancer and heart disease), as well as access to healthcare services (tuberculosis, respiratory infections, and HIV/AIDS).

A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism. The causal study of disease is called pathology. Disease is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs.

Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: pathogenic disease, deficiency disease, hereditary disease, and physiological disease. Diseases can also be classified as communicable and non-communicable. The deadliest disease in humans is ischemic heart disease (blood flow obstruction), followed by cerebrovascular disease and lower respiratory infections respectively.
