In contrast, the mortality rates showed an increasing trend as the disease burden attributed to all causes ( r = 0.58, p = 0.06) (Fig. 3 p), non-communicable diseases ( r = 0.42, p = 0.20) (Fig. 3 q), communicable diseases ( r = 0.64, p = 0.03) (Fig. 3 r), and injuries ( r = 0.86, p = 0.0008) (Fig. 3 s) increases, and only significant for communicable diseases and injuries.
