Bar Plot from Scientific Research

The solid vertical black bars show life expectancy in 2019 for each country, and the dashed vertical black bars show life expectancy in 2021. The coloured bars to the right of the 2019 life expectancy line represent the number of years of improvement that were attributed to specific causes of death. Any coloured bars to the left of the 2019 line represent years of worsening of life expectancy attributed to specific causes of death between 2019 and 2021. Bars on the outsides of the solid and dashed lines represent equal numbers of years. Further details on the methodology for the figure are provided inappendix 1 (p 6).
