• Male: 56.47 deaths/ 1000 live births
• Female: 48.37 deaths/ 1000 lives births

Note: the preliminary 2011 numbers differ significantly from those of 2010, which were strongly influenced by the demographic effect of the January 2010 earthquake; the latest figures more closely correspond to those of 2009 (2012 est.)
