    In 1999, U.S. death rates saw a slight increase, with notable declines in homicide and suicide rates. Life expectancy remained stable, but infant mortality varied by race.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Biostatistics
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • The United States tracks mortality data annually to monitor public health trends.
    • Understanding demographic variations in mortality is crucial for targeted health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present preliminary U.S. mortality data for 1999, including breakdowns by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin.
    • To analyze trends in life expectancy, leading causes of death, and infant mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a comprehensive dataset representing over 99% of U.S. deaths in 1999.
    • Employed weighting to control counts and standardized age-adjusted death rates to the year 2000 population.
    • Classified causes of death using the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).

    Main Results:

    • The age-adjusted death rate increased slightly in 1999 compared to 1998.
    • Significant declines were observed in age-adjusted rates for homicide and suicide.
    • Life expectancy remained constant at 76.7 years, while infant mortality rates showed racial disparities.

    Conclusions:

    • Preliminary 1999 data indicate subtle shifts in U.S. mortality patterns.
    • While some causes of death decreased, others like septicemia and hypertension showed increases.
    • Continued monitoring of mortality trends, especially infant mortality disparities, is essential.
