    You're right, it's actually higher in USA now

      This is a Patrick Symmes's article I read a while ago

      https://www.patricksymmes.com/articles/publications/harpers/2010/thirty-days-as-a-cuban/

      The data you listed comes from IHME, Global Burden of Disease but there's nothing findable online as to how it's actually gathered

      I suspect they got it from the Cuban government

      It's not easy having a good nutrition in Cuba
