We are looking at some World Bank data on "adult mortality." They describe their data as showing mortality per 1000 people. But the numbers seem way to high, e.g. 130 per 1000 for the U.S. We have not been able to find anywhere a precise description of what this really means, nor find anyone at the Bank who can answer. Can anyone familiar with this area help?
