Short answer: Nobody keeps an accurate count.
Leopard attack - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_attack
The frequency of Leopard attacks on humans varies by geographical region and historical period. Despite the leopard's (Panthera pardus) extensive range from sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia, attacks are regularly reported only in India and Nepal.
Tiger attack - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_attack
Tiger attacks are an extreme form of human–wildlife conflict which occur for various reasons and have claimed more human lives than attacks by any of the other big cats. The most comprehensive study of deaths due to tiger attacks estimates that at least 373,000 people died due to tiger attacks between 1800 and 2009,
Studies are done but I hestitate to choose one unless I'm familiar with the group. Just looking at the numbers it appears tigers in India because of the human over population and how the are pushing into the animals' habitat. Also there are no tigers in Africa there are leopards. If a study came from a group there I'd trust it because the World Wildlife Federation is there looking out for them collaring them trying to prevent poaching and they have millions of acres of reserves and parks and sanctuaries for animals to roam good for the animals and difficult for guarding. They do have accurate head counts or as close as they can get.
The number i saw repeatedly was 85 deaths per year in India by tigers.
