note: estimates for this country explicitly take
into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower
life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and
growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than
would otherwise be expected (July 2003 est.) | | Saint
