Data source

The statistics were retrieved from the National Board of Health and Welfare's cause of death database online [2025-09-18] and have been processed by NASP.

Statistics for the years before 2024 (i.e. 2022 and earlier) have been adjusted retroactively by the National Board of Health and Welfare, and may therefore deviate somewhat from statistics reported before 2025-09-18.
