 The figure above is a line graph showing that from 1999 to 2011, the death rate for viral hepatitis as the underlying or contributing cause of death among those aged 45-64 years increased 2.2 times among men (from 11.9 to 26.5 per 100,000 population) and 2.3 times among women (from 3.7 to 8.4 per 100,000 population). The death rate decreased 60% among men aged 18-44 years; among women aged 18-44 years, the death rate did not change from 1999 to 2002, and then decreased 46% from 2003 to 2011. For men aged ≥65 years, the death rate did not change from 1999 to 2003, and then increased 40% from 2004 to 2011. For women aged ≥65 years, the rate did not change from 1999 to 2011.

* Deaths from viral hepatitis include underlying and contributing causes coded as B15–B19 in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision.
