Please note: GBD estimates may not internally sum between total and age groupings for example due to rounding and/or modelling. Restrictive definition = ICD codes W65–74. Broader definition = ICD codes W65–74, V90, V92, X38, Y21 and T751. TurkStat: Turkish Statistical Institute. GBD: Global Burden of Disease. N = number and % = percentage
