In the original publication of this article [1] there was an error in Figure 3. The mortality rate by gender, age group, and cause of death presented in figure 3 was presented as number of deaths per 100,000 people. However, the death rate was overestimated as a result of a computation error. and as a result, adding up the number of deaths by cause of death exceeds 100,000 in the oldest age group.
The incorrect and correct figure 3 are shown in this correction article. The original article has been updated.
