What the Data Shows
Afghanistan’s premature mortality risk from major noncommunicable diseases was 32.7% in 2021. The indicator measures the probability of dying between ages 30 and 70 from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease. The value is a risk measure rather than a share of all deaths. It indicates a substantial burden during prime adult years.

Data notes & caveats
The measure is the unconditional probability of dying between exact ages 30 and 70 from four major noncommunicable disease groups.
Methodology
The 2021 Afghanistan WHO SDG 3.4.1 value is preserved directly. No additional disease-group split or cross-source benchmark is introduced.
Source consistency notes
The brief uses one WHO indicator, one national geography, one period and one percent risk unit.
