What are the top 5 leading causes of death in Mexico in 2025? This is what the INEGI figures say

The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reveals that deaths in Mexico decreased compared to the previous year, consolidating a decline in the crude mortality rate. This decline suggests improvements in public health indicators, although significant challenges persist in regional and gender-based distribution. Chronic diseases, such as heart problems and diabetes, dominate as the leading causes of death, far surpassing external causes. This health-related predominance highlights the need to strengthen prevention and care systems for non-communicable diseases in the general population. The relevance to open data lies in the fact that this report exemplifies how structured official statistics enable the analysis of social and health patterns on a large scale. By making these data accessible, it facilitates transparency, critical analysis, and evidence-based decision-making by researchers, citizens, and authorities, fostering a more informed society.
