    In 1998, U.S. mortality rates reached an all-time low, with life expectancy at birth hitting a record high. While infant mortality remained stable, overall U.S. death rates continued their long-term decline.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Demography
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • This report details final 1998 mortality data for the United States, building upon preliminary findings.
    • It examines deaths and death rates across various demographic and medical characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present comprehensive 1998 U.S. mortality statistics.
    • To analyze trends in general mortality, life expectancy, and infant/maternal mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized descriptive tabulations of data from U.S. death certificates for 1998.
    • Data compiled nationally through the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Vital Statistics Cooperative Program.

    Main Results:

    • The age-adjusted death rate hit a record low (471.7/100,000), and life expectancy at birth reached a record high (76.7 years).

  • Atherosclerosis deaths declined significantly (-9.5%); HIV infection fell out of the top 15 causes.
  • Firearm-related death rates decreased for the fifth consecutive year (-7.4%). Infant mortality rate was unchanged (7.2/1,000 live births).

    • Conclusions:

    • Overall U.S. mortality and life expectancy improvements in 1998 align with long-term positive trends.
    • Despite stability in 1998, U.S. infant mortality has shown consistent declines over the last four decades.
