Figure 3: Total premature mortality and achievement dates

Text description of figure

There is a graph plotting estimated premature mortality for different guidelne achievement times over the years 2004 to 2020. The status quo option estimates nearly 850 deaths in 2004, and this number declines gradually and straightens so that by 2020 about 725 deaths are predicted.

If the guideline were achieved by 2008, the number of deaths dips sharply to about 600 in 2007, before gradually rising to about 650 by 2020.

If the guideline were achieved by 2013, the number of deaths drops gradually until 2013, and rise to about 650 by 2020.

If the guideline were achieved by 2020, the number of deaths drops very gradually to 650 by 2020.
