It’s a harsh reality that people will die early, and for many that do pass on before their time, it has a lot to do with where they live. For instance, countries that have efficient health care systems available to all citizens are less likely to have people dying from infectious disease than those who don’t. When this is the case, overall life expectancy and quality of life will increase.

A new video by Vox illuminates all of the most common causes of early death around the world and how they differ based on economic status. According to the video, researchers from across the world came together to measure “years of life lost” in 2013, or the amount of years shy of average life expectancy someone dies.

As you may expect, countries with impoverished populations are more likely to die of preventable diseases. In many African countries, the leading cause of premature death are infections like pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and diarrhea. And those who are passing early from these disease are dying very young; four out of every 10 deaths are under the age of 15.

In other countries, like Saudi Arabia, early death has a lot to do with risky practices. Currently, car accidents are the leading cause of early death, even though half of the population (i.e. women) are not allowed to drive. A recent trend in the country now among young men is to see just how many crazy stunts they can do on the road. That, combined with the very relaxed traffic rules cause 19 deaths each day. The same goes for neighboring countries like Qatar, UAE and Oman.

Venezuela, on the other hand, sees most premature deaths coming from unchecked violence. A startling 25,000 deaths each year are deemed homicide, making this the leading cause of premature death in the country. One of the main reasons the country is having this problem is because only eight percent of all crimes are prosecuted, leaving gang violence to continue unhindered. This also seems to be the case in neighboring country Colombia.

Countries like China and most other countries in the Western world have a majority of early causes of death linked to highly evolved economies. Due to recent economic growth in China, pollution, sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet that often comes with an industrialized nation are leading many to die of strokes. Heart disease, on the other hand, is killing the rest of the world with well developed economies. Interestingly enough, though, heart disease is considered a death “of privilege” because most who do succumb to the disease are closer to the average life expectancy than others.

And while this may seem grim, researchers are finding that trends in premature deaths are decreasing worldwide; we’re actually all living longer, whether it may seem this way or not.
