  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}ortality from non-communicable diseases ({NCD}s) is a major global issue, as other categories of mortality have diminished and life expectancy has increased. {T}he {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization’s {M}ember {S}tates have called for a 25% reduction in premature {NCD} mortality by 2025, which can only be achieved by substantial reductions in risk factors and improvements in the management of chronic conditions. {A} high burden of {NCD} mortality among much older people, who have survived other hazards, is inevitable. {T}he {INDEPTH} {N}etwork collects detailed individual data within defined {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance sites. {B}y registering deaths and carrying out verbal autopsies to determine cause of death across many such sites, using standardised methods, the {N}etwork seeks to generate population-based mortality statistics that are not otherwise available. {O}bjective: {T}o describe patterns of adult {NCD} mortality from {INDEPTH} {N}etwork sites across {A}frica and {A}sia, according to the {WHO} 2012 verbal autopsy ({VA}) cause categories, with separate consideration of premature (15–64 years) and older (65+ years) {NCD} mortality. {D}esign: {A}ll adult deaths at {INDEPTH} sites are routinely registered and followed up with {VA} interviews. {F}or this study, {VA} archives were transformed into the {WHO} 2012 {VA} standard format and processed using the {I}nter{VA}-4 model to assign cause of death. {R}outine surveillance data also provide person-time denominators for mortality rates. {R}esults: {A} total of 80,726 adult (over 15 years) deaths were documented over 7,423,497 person-years of observation. {NCD}s were attributed as the cause for 35.6% of these deaths. {S}lightly less than half of adult {NCD} deaths occurred in the 15–64 age group. {D}etailed results are presented by age and sex for leading causes of {NCD} mortality. {P}er-site rates of {NCD} mortality were significantly correlated with rates of {HIV}/{AIDS}-related mortality. {C}onclusions: {T}hese findings present important evidence on the distribution of {NCD} mortality across a wide range of {A}frican and {A}sian settings. {T}his comes against a background of global concern about the burden of {NCD} mortality, especially among adults aged under 70, and provides an important baseline for future work.},
