\subsubsection{TB deaths among HIV-negative people}  From the age-specific adjusted (for coverage and ill-defined causes) number of deaths from VR, we first estimated the ratio $r_2$ of rates in children ($M_{0-14}$) compared to adults ($M_{15+}$) (\ref{eqn:r2}). The overall mortality rate for all ages ($M$) can be expressed as a weighted average of mortality in children and adults, where $c$  is the proportion of children among the general population (\ref{eqn:M}). \begin{equation}  \begin{align} 

\end{align}  \end{equation}  $M_{0-14}$ for In  countries with VR data or mortality survey data, $M_{0-14}$  is directly measured. For countries without VR data data,  an imputation step is necessary where the ratio $r$ $r_2$  is predicted from a regression model with risk factors known to be associated with TB. For the sex disaggregation of TB mortality among adults ($M_{15+}$), we use sex-specific adjusted (for coverage and ill-defined causes) number of deaths from VR to estimate mortality rates in men $M_m$ and women $M_w$ (\ref{eqn:mm}). The ratio of these rates $r_3$ (\ref{eqn:r3}) is either directly measured in countries with VR data or imputed in countries without. \begin{equation}  \begin{align}
