Mortality rates for both sexes significantly decreased, with female mortality dropping to 258.5 from 792.3 per 100,000.
The absolute difference in mortality narrowed to −30.6 yet males still had higher mortality rates persistently.
Using WHO methodologies, mortality analysis employed metrics such as Difference and Ratio over two decades, indicating trends.
The findings call for enhanced gender-sensitive public health strategies to tackle ongoing sex-based mortality disparities.
