	CAUSES OF DEATH
		Trends in the causes of death are indicated by the percent change in listed causes of death in the 1979 to 1998 period.
		Although the homicide rate is greater than the suicide rate in the 15-24 age group, for an aggregate of all age groups there are nearly twice as many deaths by suicide as deaths by homicide.
		The drowning rate in the Russian Federation was nearly twice that of Romania, the country with the second highest rate.

	Report: Overall US cancer death rates decline - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Death rates from all cancers dropped by 1.1 percent per year from 1993 to 2002, the annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer found.
		And the cancer death rate overall was 43 percent higher in fl men than in white men.
		Lung cancer rates among women are likely to fluctuate as women who began smoking in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s develop cancer as a consequence -- and then they will go down to reflect the decreased popularity of smoking.

	Cancer Death Rates --- Appalachia, 1994--1998
		The death rates for all cancers for rural Appalachia (176.3 per 100,000 population; 95% CI=±1.2) and all Appalachia (173.1; 95% CI=±0.7) were significantly higher than the corresponding U.S. death rate for this period (166.7; 95% CI=±0.2) (Table).
		The death rates for lung cancer were significantly higher in rural Appalachia and in Appalachia as a whole than in the United States overall, and the rural Appalachian cervical cancer death rate and the Appalachian colorectal cancer death rate were significantly higher than the corresponding overall U.S. rate.
		The death rates for all cancers, and for lung cancer in particular, for the Appalachian regions of nine of the 13 states were significantly higher than the corresponding U.S. rates (Table).

		Maternal death is the death of a woman in childbirth.
		In the United States, the maternal death rate is 17 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in the year 2000.
		High rates of maternal deaths occur in the same countries that have high rates of infant mortality reflecting generally poor nutrition and medical care.

		An association between death rates from hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart diseases and degree of softness of municipal water in the United States was demonstrated on rates for 1949 to 1951 [1,2].

	Pneumonia and Influenza Death Rates -- United States, 1979-1994
		From 1979 to 1994, the overall crude death rates for PandI (based on underlying cause of death) increased 59%, from 20.0 to 31.8 deaths per 100,000 population Figure_1.
		A high proportion of these deaths was attributed to pneumonia of unspecified etiology, which probably includes both pneumonias caused by known pathogens not specified on the death certificate and pneumonias caused by new or unrecognized agents.
		Although the proportion of the increase in PandI death rates accounted for by all vaccine-preventable respiratory diseases is unknown, the increased rates also underscore the need for more complete use of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines as recommended by the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP) (6,7).

		Overall, cancer death rates for all racial and ethnic populations combined declined by 1.1 percent per year from 1993 to 2001 and also declined for many of the top 15 cancers in both men and women.
		By 2001, death rates for white populations were substantially lower than those for fl populations, an indication that fl men and women may not have experienced the same benefits from screening and/or treatment as white men and women.
		Cancer incidence rates and cancer death rates are measured as the number of cases or deaths per 100,000 people per year and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.

	Abortion Increases Women's Mortality Rates
		Even if there was a method for reporting abortion related deaths, the accuracy of such reports would still limited by the judgment of coroners regarding the underlying cause of death.
		Deaths from suicide or protracted infections, for example, may be difficult to attribute to a specific underlying cause.
		The explanation for higher suicide rates, Reardon believes, can be found in another Elliot Institute study of 1076 women faced with unplanned pregnancies that was published earlier this year in the British Medical Journal.

	Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report: Hysterectomy prevalence and death rates for cervical cancer - United States, ...
		However, rates of cervical cancer mortality that do not allow for the proportion of women with hysterectomies in the population will underestimate the rates in the true at-risk population (i.e., women with intact uteri) and may influence apparent secular trends in rates of cervical cancer mortality (2).
		Because the secular decline in death rates for cervical cancer appeared similar before and after correcting for hysterectomy prevalence (Figure 1), linear regression models were used to assess the effect of hysterectomy prevalence on the trend in rates of cervical cancer mortality.
		The relative difference in the corrected and uncorrected rates increased significantly with age, from a 10% differential for women aged 20-39 years to a 56% differential for women [equal to or greater than] 70 years of age (p for heterogeneity [is not greater than]0.001).

		Cancer incidence rates for all types of cancers combined increased from the mid-1970s through 1992, declined from 1992 to 1995, and then stabilized from 1995 to 2000 (there was a slight increase from 1995 to 2000, but it was not statistically significant*).
		Death rates from breast cancer continue to fall despite a gradual, long-term increase in the rate of new diagnoses.
		The authors of the report are encouraged by the recent continuing declines in death rates from the four leading cancers — lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal — declines that were observed nationally and in most states.

	Regional Lung Cancer Death Rates Follow Smoking Trends
		For example, from 1950 to 1959, mortality rates for white men were higher in the northeast urban areas as well as along the south Atlantic and Gulf coasts than in other parts of the country.
		But by the 1970s, many of the highest death rates from lung cancer among white males were being seen in the southeast areas of the country, and by the 1990s, "virtually all" of the highest mortality rates were occurring in the same region.
		Changes in the pattern of lung cancer deaths among white women have been less dramatic than those for white men, but mortality rates among white women have been increasing since the 1960s and are now "relatively high" among white women living along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

		The precise meaning of the "X" and whether it is an official rating or an unofficial labelling varies from country to country.
		In the United States, the X-rating originally referred to a non-trademarked rating that indicated a film contained content unsuitable for minors such as extreme violence or explicit sex and thus was for adults only.
		When the MPAA film rating system was instituted in 1968 in the U.S., the X-rating was given to a film by the MPAA if submitted to them or, due to its non-trademarked status, it could be self-applied to a film by a distributor who knew beforehand that their film contained content unsuitable for minors.

		Even though risk factors, incidence rates, and death rates are different for cancer of the colon and cancer of the rectum, the two are combined into colorectal cancer primarily because death certificates frequently do not accurately distinguish one from the other.
		Colorectal cancers are considered diseases of economically developed countries: death rates are highest in New Zealand and Europe and lowest in Thailand, Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, Ecuador, and Venezuela.
		This, however, does not mean that all areas in the United States experience the same mortality; death rates for this disease are relatively high in the Northeast and low in the South and Southwest.
