    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Demography
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) compiles national vital statistics.
    • Death certificates provide data on U.S. deaths, including demographic and medical information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present final 2000 data on U.S. deaths and death rates.
    • To describe trends in general mortality, life expectancy, and infant/maternal mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive tabulations of data from U.S. death certificates.
    • Data compiled through the NCHS Vital Statistics Cooperative Program.
    • Causes of death classified using the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).

    Main Results:

    • The age-adjusted death rate was 872.0 per 100,000, a record low.
    • Life expectancy at birth reached a record high of 76.9 years.
    • The infant mortality rate was a record low 6.9 per 1,000 live births.

    Conclusions:

    • Mortality trends in 2000 continued long-term patterns.
    • The age-adjusted death rate reversed its 1999 increase, resuming a downward trend.
    • Record low life expectancy and infant mortality highlight positive public health advancements.
