NCHS - Leading Causes of Death: United States

This dataset presents the age-adjusted death rates for the 10 leading causes of death in the United States beginning in 1999.

Data are based on information from all resident death certificates filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia using demographic and medical characteristics. Age-adjusted death rates (per 100,000 population) are based on the 2000 U.S. standard population. Populations used for computing death rates after 2010 are postcensal estimates based on the 2010 census, estimated as of July 1, 2010. Rates for census years are based on populations enumerated in the corresponding censuses. Rates for non-census years before 2010 are revised using updated intercensal population estimates and may differ from rates previously published.

Causes of death classified by the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD–10) are ranked according to the number of deaths assigned to rankable causes. Cause of death statistics are based on the underlying cause of death.

本数据集展示了自1999年起美国十大死因的年龄调整死亡率。数据源于50个州及哥伦比亚特区的居民死亡证明信息，并基于人口统计学和医学特征进行编制。年龄调整死亡率（每10万人中）基于2000年美国标准人口。2010年之后的死亡率计算所用人口为基于2010年人口普查的推算值，具体截至2010年7月1日。普查年份的死亡率基于相应普查的人口统计。2010年之前非普查年份的死亡率采用更新的跨普查人口估计值进行修订，可能与先前发布的比率存在差异。死亡原因按照国际疾病分类第十版（ICD-10）进行分类，并根据分配给可排序原因的死亡数量进行排名。死亡原因统计数据基于死亡的根本原因。资料来源：美国疾病控制与预防中心/国家健康统计中心，国家生命统计系统，死亡率数据（参见http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/deaths.htm）；及CDC WONDER（参见http://wonder.cdc.gov）。参考文献：1. 国家健康统计中心。可用的生命统计数据。多重死因文件。马里兰州海蒂斯堡：国家健康统计中心。可从：https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/vitalstatsonline.htm。2.
