      The age-adjusted death rate decreased by 9.2% from 879.7 deaths per 100,000 standard population in 2021 to 798.8 in 2022.
      In 2021, there were 667,479 deaths in the United Kingdom, compared with 689,629 in the previous year, which was the most deaths in a single year since 1918, when there were 715,000. Although the death rate in the UK fell from 10.4 deaths per 1,000 people in 2000 to 8.7 in 2011, it has increased in the intervening years, and reached a rate of 10.3 by 2020.

      @@KGiustOD I will, of course, oblige. You will not like the results.
      The UK has an average life expectancy of 80.7 years, three more years than the USA.
      2021 was, of course, a COVID year, so it's hardly surprising that the death rate was higher. It was also higher in the USA as well. In 2021, there were 3.46 million deaths in the USA, which adjusted for the five times higher population, is equivalent to 692,000 in the UK. So the death rate in the USA in 2021 was almost 4% higher than in the UK, despite the median age of the UK population being almost 2 years higher (40.6 in the UK vs 38.8 in the USA). The UK did not do a great job on COVID, but the USA did even worse.
      As far as roads are concerned, there were 7,522 pedestrian fatalities in the USA in 2022, which is equivalent to 1,504 in the UK when adjusted for population differences. The actual number in the UK was 385, making the average American 3.9 times as likely to be killed as a pedestrian than in the UK. Pedestrian deaths in the USA are now at a 40 year high. Are you proud of that? For road deaths in general, per head of population in the USA is almost 5 times higher than in the UK, and adjusted for miles driven, it's about 2.5 times higher. (In 2022, there were 1,767 deaths on UK roads; the USA, with 5 times the population, it was 24 times higher at 42,514 - all official government figures). Try searching for the Bloomberg report "US Traffic Safety Is Getting Worse, While Other Countries Improve".
      A bit more on health. A UK citizen has a a 9.9% chance of not making it to 60, whilst 12.8% of Americans die before that age. That means an American has a 30% greater chance of dying before the age of 60 than a British citizens.
      Now lets look at maternal deaths. In 2021, in the USA, 33 women died out of every 100,000 live births. That's twice the rate of the UK. Or what about childhood deaths. In the USA there were 5.547 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. In the UK it was 3.9 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, so 40% higher than in the UK.
      In fact it is quite difficult to find statistics on age-adjusted population health outcomes for the the USA that aren't worse than those in the UK or, for that matter, western Europe (who often do considerably better than the UK). The UK has longer life expectancy, you are less likely to die as an infant, more likely to make it to 60, less likely to die in childbirth, much less likely to die in a road accident, either as a vehicle occupant, or as a pedestrian (it's also true of cyclists).
      I suggest you look at the Commonwealth Fund (founded by an American), that compares health outcomes by country. Search for "U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective, 2022: Accelerating Spending, Worsening Outcomes".
      Now I'm not claiming the UK has outstanding outcomes in all areas, but generally speaking those in the USA are the worst of all the high income countries, despite spending the most on healthcare, whether measured in absolute amounts, or as a percentage of GDP. It's much the same with road safety. In many ways in the 1960s it was amongst the leaders in road safety, it's now firmly at the bottom of the table among high income countries.
      If you want a competition on statistics and mathematics with me, then you are going to lose big time.
