      You’re right, it’s actually higher in USA now

      Results: Between 1999 and 2020, 93,244 older adults died from malnutrition. Malnutrition AAMR increased from 10.7 per 100,000 in 1999 to 25.0 per 100,000 in 2020.

      Meanwhile, Cuba is at 0.3 https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/malnutrition-death-rates

        This is a Patrick Symmes’s article I read a while ago

        https://www.patricksymmes.com/articles/publications/harpers/2010/thirty-days-as-a-cuban/

        The data you listed comes from IHME, Global Burden of Disease but there’s nothing findable online as to how it’s actually gathered

        I suspect they got it from the Cuban government

        It’s not easy having a good nutrition in Cuba
