Suicide rates by industry and occupation - National Vital Statistics System, United States, 2021
Sussell A , Peterson C , Li J , Miniño A , Scott KA , Stone DM . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (50) 1346-1350 The suicide rate among the U.S. working-age population has increased approximately 33% during the last 2 decades. To guide suicide prevention strategies, CDC analyzed suicide deaths by industry and occupation in 49 states, using data from the 2021 National Vital Statistics System. Industry (the business activity of a person's employer or, if self-employed, their own business) and occupation (a person's job or the type of work they do) are distinct ways to categorize employment. The overall suicide rates by sex in the civilian noninstitutionalized working population were 32.0 per 100,000 among males and 8.0 per 100,000 among females. Major industry groups with the highest suicide rates included Mining (males = 72.0); Construction (males = 56.0; females = 10.4); Other Services (e.g., automotive repair; males = 50.6; females = 10.4); Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation (males = 47.9; females = 15.0); and Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting (males = 47.9). Major occupation groups with the highest suicide rates included Construction and Extraction (males = 65.6; females = 25.3); Farming, Fishing, and Forestry (e.g., agricultural workers; males = 49.9); Personal Care and Service (males = 47.1; females = 15.9); Installation, Maintenance, and Repair (males = 46.0; females = 26.6); and Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media (males = 44.5; females = 14.1). By integrating recommended programs, practices, and training into existing policies, workplaces can be important settings for suicide prevention. CDC provides evidence-based suicide prevention strategies in its Suicide Prevention Resource for Action and Critical Steps Your Workplace Can Take Today to Prevent Suicide, NIOSH Science Blog. |
QuickStats: Number of deaths resulting from being bitten or struck by a dog,* by sex - National Vital Statistics System, United States, 2011-2021
Xu J , Miniño A . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (36) 999 During 2011–2021, a total of 468 deaths from being bitten or struck by a dog occurred (average = 43 deaths per year). The annual number of deaths ranged from 31 (2016) to 81 (2021). During 2011–2016, more deaths occurred among males than among females during most years; however, during 2017–2021, more deaths occurred among females than among males. From 2018 to 2021, deaths more than doubled for both males (from 15 to 37) and females (from 20 to 44). |
Quickstats: Age-adjusted rates of death involving exposure to excessive heat* among states with the highest numbers of deaths() - National Vital Statistics System, United States, 2021
Miniño A . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (35) 971 In 2021, a total of 1,600 U.S. heat-related deaths occurred; the age-adjusted heat-related death rate was 0.4 deaths per 100,000 population. Among states with 20 or more deaths, the nine states with the highest number of deaths were Arizona (426), Washington (171), Nevada (166), California (143), Oregon (133), Texas (93), Louisiana (38), Florida (30), and Pennsylvania (26). States with the highest rates can vary from year to year, reflecting variation in weather patterns. | | The 2021 age-adjusted heat-related death rate for the United States was 0.4 deaths per 100,000 population. A total of 1,600 deaths were reported, and nine states accounted for >75% (1,226) of those deaths. Arizona recorded 426 deaths and had the highest rate (5.2 per 100,000), followed by Nevada (4.6), Oregon (2.4), Washington (1.9), and Louisiana (0.7). Rates for the remaining states ranged from 0.1 (Florida) to 0.3 (California and Texas). |
QuickStats: Life expectancy at birth, by sex - National Vital Statistics System, United States, 2019-2021
Xu J , Minino A . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023 72 (28) 775 Life expectancy at birth for the total population declined 2.4 years from 78.8 in 2019 to 76.4 years in 2021. Life expectancy declined for both males and females during this period. For males, life expectancy declined from 76.3 to 73.5 years and for females from 81.4 to 79.3 years. Life expectancy was higher for females than males by 5.1 years in 2019, and that difference increased to 5.8 years in 2021. |
Provisional Mortality Data - United States, 2020.
Ahmad FB , Cisewski JA , Miniño A , Anderson RN . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2021 70 (14) 519-522 CDC's National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) collects and reports annual mortality statistics using data from U.S. death certificates. Because of the time needed to investigate certain causes of death and to process and review data, final annual mortality data for a given year are typically released 11 months after the end of the calendar year. Daily totals reported by CDC COVID-19 case surveillance are timely but can underestimate numbers of deaths because of incomplete or delayed reporting. As a result of improvements in timeliness and the pressing need for updated, quality data during the global COVID-19 pandemic, NVSS expanded provisional data releases to produce near real-time U.S. mortality data.* This report presents an overview of provisional U.S. mortality data for 2020, including the first ranking of leading causes of death. In 2020, approximately 3,358,814 deaths(†) occurred in the United States. From 2019 to 2020, the estimated age-adjusted death rate increased by 15.9%, from 715.2 to 828.7 deaths per 100,000 population. COVID-19 was reported as the underlying cause of death or a contributing cause of death for an estimated 377,883 (11.3%) of those deaths (91.5 deaths per 100,000). The highest age-adjusted death rates by age, race/ethnicity, and sex occurred among adults aged ≥85 years, non-Hispanic Black or African American (Black) and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons, and males. COVID-19 death rates were highest among adults aged ≥85 years, AI/AN and Hispanic persons, and males. COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in 2020, after heart disease and cancer. Provisional death estimates provide an early indication of shifts in mortality trends and can guide public health policies and interventions aimed at reducing numbers of deaths that are directly or indirectly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Deaths associated with hepatitis C virus infection among residents in 50 states and the District of Columbia, 2016-2017
Ly KN , Minino AM , Liu SJ , Roberts H , Hughes EM , Ward JW , Jiles RB . Clin Infect Dis 2019 71 (5) 1149-1160 BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated mortality is well-documented nationally, but examination across regions and jurisdictions may inform healthcare planning. METHODS: To document HCV-associated deaths sub-nationally, we calculated age-adjusted HCV-associated death rates, compared death rate ratios (DRR) for ten US regions, 50 states, and District of Columbia (DC) with the national rate and described rate changes between 2016 and 2017 to determine variability. We examined mean age at HCV-associated death and rates and proportions by sex, race/ethnicity, and birth year. RESULTS: In 2017, there were 17,253 HCV-associated deaths, representing 4.13 (95% CI, 4.07-4.20) deaths/100,000 standard population, a significant 6.56% rate decline from 4.42 in 2016. Age-adjusted death rates significantly surpassed the US rate for the following jurisdictions: Oklahoma, DC, Oregon, New Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado, California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, and Washington (DRR, 2.87, 2.77, 2.24, 1.62, 1.57, 1.46, 1.36, 1.35, 1.35, 1.35, 1.32, 1.32, respectively) (P<0.05). Death rates ranged from a low of 1.60 (95% CI, 1.07-2.29) in Maine to a high of 11.84 (95% CI, 10.82-12.85) in Oklahoma. Death rates were highest among non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives and non-Hispanic blacks nationally and regionally. Mean age at death was 61.4 years (range, 56.6 years in West Virginia to 64.1 years in DC); 78.6% of deaths were born during 1945-1965. CONCLUSION: In 2016-2017, national HCV-associated mortality declined but remained high in western and southern regions, DC, non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives, non-Hispanic blacks, and Baby Boomers. These data can inform local prevention and control programs to reduce the HCV mortality burden. |
Potentially preventable deaths among the five leading causes of death - United States, 2010 and 2014
Garcia MC , Bastian B , Rossen LM , Anderson R , Minino A , Yoon PW , Faul M , Massetti G , Thomas CC , Hong Y , Iademarco MF . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016 65 (45) 1245-1255 Death rates by specific causes vary across the 50 states and the District of Columbia.* Information on differences in rates for the leading causes of death among states might help state health officials determine prevention goals, priorities, and strategies. CDC analyzed National Vital Statistics System data to provide national and state-specific estimates of potentially preventable deaths among the five leading causes of death in 2014 and compared these estimates with estimates previously published for 2010. Compared with 2010, the estimated number of potentially preventable deaths changed (supplemental material at https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/42472); cancer deaths decreased 25% (from 84,443 to 63,209), stroke deaths decreased 11% (from 16,973 to 15,175), heart disease deaths decreased 4% (from 91,757 to 87,950), chronic lower respiratory disease (CLRD) (e.g., asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema) deaths increased 1% (from 28,831 to 29,232), and deaths from unintentional injuries increased 23% (from 36,836 to 45,331). A better understanding of progress made in reducing potentially preventable deaths in the United States might inform state and regional efforts targeting the prevention of premature deaths from the five leading causes in the United States. |
Annual summary of vital statistics: 2008
Mathews TJ , Minino AM , Osterman MJ , Strobino DM , Guyer B . Pediatrics 2010 127 (1) 146-57 The number of births in the United States decreased between 2007 and 2008 (preliminary estimate: 4,251,095). Birth rates declined among all women aged 15 to 39 years; the decrease among teenagers reverses the increases seen in the previous 2 years. The total fertility rate decreased 2% in 2008 to 2085.5 births per 1000 women. The proportion of all births to unmarried women increased to 40.6% in 2008, up from 39.7% in 2007. The 2008 preterm birth rate was 12.3%, a decline of 3% from 2007. In 2008, 32.3% of all births occurred by cesarean delivery, up nearly 2% from 2007. Twin and triplet birth rates were unchanged. The infant mortality rate was 6.59 infant deaths per 1000 live births in 2008 (significantly lower than the rate of 6.75 in 2007). Life expectancy at birth was 77.8 years in 2008. Crude death rates for children aged 1 to 19 years decreased by 5.5% between 2007 and 2008. Unintentional injuries and homicide were, respectively, the first and second leading causes of death in this age group. These 2 causes of death jointly accounted for 51.2% of all deaths of children and adolescents in 2008. This annual article is a long-standing feature in Pediatrics and provides a summary of the most current vital statistics data for the United States. We also include a special feature this year on the differences in cesarean-delivery rates according to race and Hispanic origin. |
Human prion diseases in the United States
Holman RC , Belay ED , Christensen KY , Maddox RA , Minino AM , Folkema AM , Haberling DL , Hammett TA , Kochanek KD , Sejvar JJ , Schonberger LB . PLoS One 2010 5 (1) e8521 BACKGROUND: Prion diseases are a family of rare, progressive, neurodegenerative disorders that affect humans and animals. The most common form of human prion disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), occurs worldwide. Variant CJD (vCJD), a recently emerged human prion disease, is a zoonotic foodborne disorder that occurs almost exclusively in countries with outbreaks of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. This study describes the occurrence and epidemiology of CJD and vCJD in the United States. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Analysis of CJD and vCJD deaths using death certificates of US residents for 1979-2006, and those identified through other surveillance mechanisms during 1996-2008. Since CJD is invariably fatal and illness duration is usually less than one year, the CJD incidence is estimated as the death rate. During 1979 through 2006, an estimated 6,917 deaths with CJD as a cause of death were reported in the United States, an annual average of approximately 247 deaths (range 172-304 deaths). The average annual age-adjusted incidence for CJD was 0.97 per 1,000,000 persons. Most (61.8%) of the CJD deaths occurred among persons >or=65 years of age for an average annual incidence of 4.8 per 1,000,000 persons in this population. Most deaths were among whites (94.6%); the age-adjusted incidence for whites was 2.7 times higher than that for blacks (1.04 and 0.40, respectively). Three patients who died since 2004 were reported with vCJD; epidemiologic evidence indicated that their infection was acquired outside of the United States. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Surveillance continues to show an annual CJD incidence rate of about 1 case per 1,000,000 persons and marked differences in CJD rates by age and race in the United States. Ongoing surveillance remains important for monitoring the stability of the CJD incidence rates, and detecting occurrences of vCJD and possibly other novel prion diseases in the United States. |
Death in the United States, 2007
Minino AM , Xu J , Kochanek KD , Tejada-Vera B . NCHS Data Brief 2009 (26) 1-8 KEY FINDINGS: Data from the National Vital Statistics System, Mortality In 2007, the age-adjusted death rate for the United States reached a record low of 760.3 per 100,000 population. Life expectancy at birth reached a record high of 77.9 years. States in the southeast region have higher death rates than those in other regions of the country. In 2007, the five leading causes of death were heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and accidents. These accounted for over 64 percent of all deaths in the United States. White females have the longest life expectancy (80.7 years), followed by black females (77.0 years). The gap in life expectancy between white persons and black persons declined by 35 percent between 1989 and 2007. The race differential was 4.6 years in 2007. |
