Data on which this table is based were downloaded on October 8-10, 2017 from the Results page of the University of Washington IHME website. After reformatting, mortality figures greater than one were rounded to integer values; smaller values were rounded to one decimal place. The figures in the Non-Occup. column were obtained by subtracting occupational mesothelioma mortality from overall (GBD Study estimated) mesothelioma mortality.
