All bars use underlying cause of death (UCOD) so categories are comparable. Road traffic uses the 30-day international standard.
Counting basis. All bars use underlying cause of death (UCOD) — one death attributed to one primary cause — so categories are comparable. Road traffic uses the 30-day international standard (92), not the lower preliminary national count (75).
Diabetes caveat. The 304 figure is UCOD only. NIJZ notes diabetes is rarely recorded as the underlying cause because diabetics more often die of cardiovascular complications, so this systematically understates its true burden. The lighter bar (~1,000–1,200) is an estimate of deaths where diabetes contributed, using a 3–4× UCOD multiplier — illustrative, not an official figure. Many of those deaths are already counted inside the cardiovascular bar.
Year-to-year volatility. UCOD diabetes deaths swing widely: 304 (2022), 476 (2021), 443 (2020), 317 (2023). A single year overstates precision.
