Oh boy, you also do not have a clue. This time I am disappointed in you. Try to use your brain. You can figure it out.
This is the meaningful metric for adult mortality. Ultimately, adult mortality is the same for every country....100%. What differentiates is lifespan.
Countries with a large aging cohort will experience a rise in year over year mortality until those adults have passed away. Immediately afterwards the mortality rate drops.
