Cause specific mortality across the lifespan for Fiji’s major ethnic sub-populations 2013-17
LE was higher for FID than i-Taukei females, but similar for males of both ethnicities. CVD was the leading UCoD for both sexes and ethnicities, followed by cancer for i-Taukei males and females, diabetes for FID females and external causes for FID males. Public health interventions aligned with ethnic differences in major causes of death are needed to achieve equitable health outcomes and improved LE in Fiji.
