The deaths age profile shows how deaths are spread across ages. A stacked chart displays each age group as a share of total deaths for each year. It reveals which ages account for the most deaths and how that mix changes over time.
The age profile matters because it reflects the age structure of the population. An ageing population shifts the peak of deaths to older age groups. This page sits alongside the deaths and mortality rate pages, which show the raw counts and rates behind the profile.
