The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that for the tenth year in a row the age-adjusted death rate for Americans has fallen and, in 2009, the death rate is lower than it has ever been since records were first kept.
The CDC, using death certificates provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, found that the U.S. population had 741 deaths per 100,000 people in 2009.
This figure is 2.3% lower than in 2008. And, for the last ten years, the rates have declined in each of those years.
What else did the CDC report announce?
- Life expectancy -- at birth - was up to 78.2 years in 2009, from 78.0 years in 2008
- Life expectancy - for males -- was up to slightly 75.7 years in 2009, from 75.5 years in 2008.
- Life expectancy - for females - was up just a bit to 80.6 years in 2009, from 80.5 years in 2008.
Page two concludes with which leading cause of death decreased in 2009 when compared to 2008.
