    • To present final 2000 mortality data for the 10 leading causes of death in the U.S.
    • To analyze these causes by age, race, sex, and Hispanic origin.
    • To detail leading causes of infant, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality.

    Main Methods:

  • Ranked causes based on the number of deaths assigned to rankable categories.

    • Main Results:

    • The top 10 leading causes of death accounted for nearly 80% of all U.S. deaths in 2000.
    • Heart disease and malignant neoplasms were the leading causes overall.
    • Significant variations in leading causes were observed across different demographic groups (age, sex, race, Hispanic origin).
    • Leading causes of infant death included congenital malformations and disorders related to short gestation/low birthweight.
    • Neonatal and postneonatal mortality showed distinct leading causes.

    Conclusions:

    • Mortality patterns in the U.S. in 2000 were diverse and influenced by demographic factors.
    • Specific leading causes of death require tailored public health strategies for different populations.
    • Infant mortality data reveals critical areas for intervention in neonatal and postneonatal care.
