Other Announcements Major change in Human Mortality Database  The Human Mortality Database (HMD), a joint project of the Max-Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR), the University of California, Berkeley, and the French Institute for Population Studies (INED), has undergone a major uplift. Data by cause of death for 18 countries are now available in the HMD. The Human Cause-of-death Data series is now part of the HMD (HCD@HMD) at https://www.mortality.org/Data/HCD. Its prior incarnation, the stand-alone Human Cause-of-death Database is thus now discontinued. Like its predecessor, HCD@HMD provides an updated continuous data series with causes of death classified according to a constant (fixed) list/classification, taking into account the periodic changes to the International Classification of Diseases.
