What the numbers say
In 2021, Equatorial Guinea's mortality from CVD, cancer, diabetes or CRD between exact ages 30 and 70, female (%) fell 0.3 percentage points on 2020 (from 20.2% to 19.9%).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was −0.26 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.74 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1 percentage points in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.8 percentage points in 2013. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.18 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 35% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Mortality from CVD, cancer, diabetes or CRD is the percent of 30-year-old-people who would die before their 70th birthday from any of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming that s/he would experience current mortality rates at every age and s/he would not die from any other cause of death (e.g., injuries or HIV/AIDS).
Limitations: Due to changes in input data and methods, the revisions of the data are not comparable to previously published estimates. The current estimates for 2020 and 2021 are likely underestimated in countries where high-quality vital registration data was lacking at the time of GHE2021 production. This is because the modeled estimates cannot fully account for deaths from the four major NCDs indirectly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the data for 2020 and 2021 should be interpreted with caution.
