Those in the rural communities die more often than not at the age of 75-90 years old and beyond that age, while those living in urban centres die in elderly (60-74 years old) and old age. The chief causes of death are considered to be disorders of the circulatory system (84.6%), neoplasms (7.6%), disorders of the respiratory tract (6.3%).
