    The document provides health statistics and indicators for the United Arab Emirates from 1990 to 2010. It shows that the under-5 mortality rate has significantly decreased over this period, from 51 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990 to 11 in 2010. Leading causes of death among children under 5 are prematurity, congenital anomalies, and pneumonia. Noncommunicable diseases like raised blood pressure and obesity have also increased in the UAE population over the past decades. Access to improved water and sanitation as well as health services like skilled birth attendance have greatly improved but remain below regional averages.
