Cause of death, by other COVID-19 pandemic-related outcomes (% of total)
Cause of death refers to the share of all deaths for all ages by underlying causes. Other COVID-19 pandemic-related outcomes capture all deaths due to the pandemic which were not specifically caused by COVID-19 or the indirect COVID causes. These are estimated by subtracting COVID-19 specific deaths and deaths attributed to indirect COVID-19 causes from total excess mortality.

How "Health & Population" indicators are measured
Health and population indicators come from national vital-registration systems, demographic and health surveys, and modeling by the UN Population Division and WHO. Mortality and morbidity estimates are often modeled rather than directly observed in lower-capacity statistical systems, which means some figures are interpolations between survey years. Life expectancy is a "period" measure based on current age-specific mortality, not a forecast of how long someone born today will actually live.
