PART Il. CAUSE OF DEATH-%

There were 1,927,542 resident deaths in the United States during 1971, resulting in a death rate of 9.3 per 1,000 population. The demographic charac­teristics associated with this mortality for 1971-age, color, sex, and geographic area—have been discussed in Part I of this Summary Report (Monthly VikZl S.kztistics Repovt, VOI. 22, No. 9, Supplement, December 4, 1973). Sources of the data shown in this Summary Report are also expIained in Part I.

The effect of yearly changes in the age composition of the population is eliminated by age-adjusting the

@ Jeath rates. Current age-specific death rates are applied to a standard population of unchanging age structure. In this report the standard used was the total U.S. population in 1940. The age-adjusted rate in 197 I was 7.0 per 1,000 population, which was 1.4 per-cent below that of 1970 (7.1 percent). The rate for the white population was 1.5 percent lower, while that for all other races was 2.0 percent higher.

Causes of death. —The death rate for most causes was either lower or nearly unchanged between 1970 and 1971. Ikdluenza and pneumonia was down 10.4 percent, with Influenza down 61.1 percent. Among leading causes of death, the rates for Diseases of heart and for Cerebrovascular diseases decreased 0.7 and 0.8 per-cent, respectively, and for Accidents, 2.7 percent. However, as in the previous year, the rate for Ma­lignant neoplasms increased, this time by 0.2 percent. Both Suicide and Homicide exhibited a higher rate in 1971, 0.9 and 9.6 percent, respectively.

Infant mortality. —The infant mortality rate in 1971 was 19.1 deaths per 1,000 live births, a reduc­tion of 4.5 percent from the level of 20.0 in 1970. This continued the decrease in infant mortality that has been evidenced over the last decade. The lower infant mortality rate is due almost entirely to a decline in

neonatal mortality (infants under 28 days of age). The rate of neonatal mortality dropped by 6.0 percent, from 15.1 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1970 to 14.2 in 1971. Postneonatal mortality remained at the same level of 4.9 as in 1970. Among white infants the mor­taIity rate dropped from 17.8 in 1970 to 17.1 in 1971 (a 3.9-percent decrease), while among all other races it went from 30.9 to 28.5 (a 7.8 -percent decrease). The neonatal and postneonatal rates changed as follows:

Rate by age and year

Wnite---- 13.0 13.8 4.0 4.0 -5.8 All. I other--- 19.6 21.4 8.9 9.5 -8.4 -6.3

Matental monkzlity.-There were 668 deaths of women from causes associated Wilh pregnancy, child-birth, and the puerperium. This was 135 fewer deaths than occurred from these causes in 1970. The rate of 18.8 per 100,000 live births was 12.6 percent lower than in the previous year. The maternal mortality rate of 13.0 for white women was 9.7 percent lower than for the previous year, while that of 45.3 among all other races was down 19.0 percent. Although the maternal mortali~ rate for all other women was 3.5 times that for white women in 1971, this was a lower ratio than that of 3.9 in 1970.
