This figure, an increase from 21% (3.3 million of 16.3 million) in 1990, reflects this age group\u2019s increasing epidemiological importance as mortality in children under 5 years old declines faster. Globally, mortality risk was lowest at ages 10-14 years (2.7 (90% UI 2.5 to 3.3) deaths per 1000) and increased at ages 15-19 years (4.3 (4.1 to 4.6)) and 20-24 years (6.1 (5.7 to 7.7)). Male mortality was consistently higher than female mortality, with the male to female ratio increasing with age. Progress has been uneven: mortality fell by 64% for people aged 5-9 years from 1990 to 2024, compared with 33% for people aged 20-24 years, with slower declines in male mortality, particularly in older youth (26% reduction in male mortality\u00a0<em>v<\/em>\u00a0a 43% reduction in female mortality in people aged 20-24 years). Mortality declines have slowed since 2015, with increases in some low mortality regions, including North America, in people aged 10-24 years. In West and Central Africa, population growth outpaced mortality decline, increasing the absolute number of deaths. Deaths were increasingly concentrated in high mortality regions. Nearly half of deaths in 2024 occurred in just two regions: West and Central Africa, and Eastern and Southern Africa, which accounted for 23% (0.6 billion of 2.6 billion) of the global population of 5-24 year olds. This figure is an increase from 12% in 1990 (0.2 billion of 2.1 billion) and is projected to exceed 30% (0.9 billion of 2.6 billion) by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F1.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F2.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F3.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F4.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F5.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F6.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F7.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F8.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/bmj\/393\/bmj-2025-088685\/F9.large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-6\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>&nbsp;Progress in reducing mortality in people aged 5-24 years has been uneven and has slowed.
