    In 1999, U.S. life expectancy remained stable at 76.7 years, despite a slight increase in the age-adjusted death rate. Infant mortality also showed no significant change from the previous year.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Biostatistics
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Presents final 1999 data on U.S. mortality, including general mortality, life expectancy, and infant/maternal mortality trends.
    • Follows up on preliminary mortality data released for 1999.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report final 1999 U.S. mortality data by demographic and medical characteristics.
    • To describe trends in general mortality, life expectancy, and infant and maternal mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized death certificate data for 2,391,399 deaths in the United States in 1999.
    • Employed the year 2000 population for age-adjusted death rates and ICD-10 for cause of death processing.
    • Compiled data through the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Vital Statistics Cooperative Program.

    Main Results:

    • The 1999 age-adjusted death rate was 881.9 per 100,000, a 0.7% increase from 1998; life expectancy at birth was 76.7 years.
    • Age-specific death rates increased for ages 45-54, 75-84, and 85+, while decreasing for younger age groups.
    • Aortic aneurysm and dissection became a leading cause of death, while atherosclerosis was removed; heart disease and cancer remained leading causes. Firearm injury death rates decreased 6.2%.

    Conclusions:

    • U.S. mortality trends generally continued long-term patterns in 1999.
    • Life expectancy remained unchanged despite a slight rise in the age-adjusted death rate.
    • Infant mortality was statistically unchanged, continuing a slowing decline; some measures worsened for women and the elderly.
