UK death rate reached a record low last year , according to analysis carried out for BBC News .
Experts looked at death certificates registered in 2024 and found that deaths per head of population had returned to pre-pandemic levels.
But the new figure puts the UK back on its long-term trend of only gradual improvement.
The rate is age-standardised, which means that you can make comparisons with other years even though the UK population as a whole is getting older.
Changes to the death registration process may mean that more 2024 deaths are registered in 2025 than was the case for the previous year .
The CMI says this is not the main explanation for the return to the pre-pandemic trend.
