The increase in the crude death rate and the short-term decline of the crude birth rate between 1959 and 1961 where the result of famine during the Great Leap Forward. There was even a slight population decline during these crisis years. Please note that this figure shows national averages - in the most severely affected provinces the increase in mortality and the decline in births was much higher. With these and other statistics demographers could reconstruct the number of famine-related deaths.Their estimates range from 25 to more than 40 million premature deaths due to famine and famine-related diseases.
