World Vitals / Diseases, mortality, and systems
Track global health indicators across mortality, life expectancy, disease burden, and health systems.
Global health pages should separate mortality counts, rates, burden estimates, and health-system coverage.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
