The Changing Death Rate in Brunei from 1990 to 2022

Brunei's death rate has experienced a gradual increase from 3.9 in 1990 to 5.4 in 2022. Early data shows a relatively stable trend, with only minor fluctuations in the first two decades. However, after 2010, there is a noticeable rise, driven by an aging population and increased non-communicable diseases. The slight upward trend in the 2010s can be linked to demographic changes, such as an aging population and shifts in lifestyle factors. Although Brunei’s healthcare system remains robust, the increased mortality in recent years reflects global health challenges associated with aging populations and chronic illnesses.
