1979-81

Introduction

This report describes the mortality of the Hispanic-origin

population for a 15-State reporting area during the 3-year

period of 1979–81. Death rates are centered on 1980, the year

for which population counts are available from the decennial

census enumeration for major Hispanic groups in the States

that comprise the reporting area. A total of 21 States had a

Hispanic origin or an ethnic origin item on their death certificates for 1979–8 1. For 15 of these States (Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi,

Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas (1980-8 1

only), Utah, and Wyoming), reporting of Hispanic origin or

ethnic origin was at least 90 percent complete by place of

occurrence and the wording of the questions was comparable

among the States. Reporting of Hispanic origin or ethnic origin

was 94.7 percent complete (on a place-of-residence basis) for

these 15 States. Mortality data in,this report are presented in

tables 1-17. The analysis of mortality is limited to the 15-State

reporting area (tables 2–1 3 and 15–1 7).

Completeness of reporting Hispanic origin or ethnic origin on the death certificate has improved since 1978, when the

death certificates of 18 States included one of the items. In

1978, decedent’s origin was not reported for 22.7 percent of

deaths occurring in these States; by 1980, for the 21 States

then reporting this information, the percent had declined to

15.8. Reporting has continued to improve through 1987, when

decedent’s origin was not reported for only 5.2 percent of

deaths occurring in the 22 reporting States and the District

of Columbia,

Levels of mortality and comparisons of mortality among

the population groups may be affected by variation among population groups in the distribution of deaths of unknown origin,

by small numbers of deaths which can result in rates subject to

relatively large random variation, and by the possible misclassification of ethnic origin in the census. For fiwther discussion of these issues, and the nature and source of the data, see

the appendix.

Based on the 1980 Census of Population, the 15-State

reporting area accounted for 45 percent of the Hispanic population in the United States, including 47 percent of the Mexican population, 61 percent of the Puerto Rican population, 16

percent of the Cuban population (figure 1), and 38 percent of

the “other Hispanic” population (1). Because the 15-State

reporting area does not include several States that contain a

relatively high proportion of the U.S. Hispanic population, the

mortality data presented in this report may not be representative of the U.S. Hispanic-origin population, especially Cubans.

Within the reporting area, Hispanic deaths during 1979–

81 were concentrated in five States (Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, New York, and Texas), which together accounted for 95

percent of the Hispanic-origin deaths in the 15 States. Texas

alone accounted for 52 percent and New York, 24 percent.

Ninety-three percent of the reported Mexican deaths in the

area were to residents of Arizona, Illinois, and Texas; 94 percent of the Puerto Rican deaths, to residents of Illinois and

New York; and 90 percent of the Cuban deaths, to residents of

Illinois, New York, and Texas.

Findings in this report are generally consistent with those

reported elsewhere, even when based on different methods for

identifying the Hispanic population. Hispanic deaths in this

and a Colorado report (2) are identified from the ethnic or Hispanic-origin item on the death certificate; other studies identified Hispanic decedents through use of Spanish surname

(3-10) or country of birth (10-12). Still another study of Hispanic mortality is based on geographic analyses that contrast

areas composed largely of Hispanic populations with other

areas (13).

A review of the literature reveals that other studies are not

so comprehensive as this report in terms of geographic coverage, causes of death, and population characteristics such as

age, race, sex, and specified Hispanic origin. As a result, it is

difficult to make precise comparisons between this study and

other published work. Where results could be compared with

those of more limited reports, often based on different methods

of identifying and classifying the Hispanic-origin population,

the findings were generally consistent.

For the 1979–8 1 period, mortality for the Hispanic population was lower than that for the non-Hispanic white population in a 15-State reporting area. Taking the age composition of

populations into account, the age-adjusted death rate for the

Hispanic population was 462.0 deaths per 100,000 population, 13 percent below that for the non-Hispanic white population (529.5) and 42 percent below that for the non-Hispanic

black population (795.6) of the reporting area. Among the

specific Hispanic groups, the rate for Mexicans was 489.4; for

Puerto Ricans, 5 12:4; and for Cubans, 345.2. All of these rates

were below those of the non-Hispanic white population.

By age, death rates of Hispanic males were generally

higher than those of non-Hispanic white males for age groups

under 45 years (due mainly to elevated rates for Homicide and

legal intervention), but lower for age groups 45 years and over.

The death rates of Hispanic females were about the same as

those of non-Hispanic white females under age 35 years, but

lower than those for age groups 35 years and over.

These rates were computed for the total of 15 States where

the reporting of Hispanic origin on the death certificates was at

least 90 percent complete and comparable among the reporting

States during 1979-81. The Hispanic population of the 15-

State reporting area accounted for 45 percent of the U.S. population of Hispanic origin enumerated in the 1980 Census of

Population.

Leading causes of death for the Hispanic population are

similar to those for the non-Hispanic white population with two

notable exceptions. Deaths from Homicide and legal intervention ranked markedly higher, and Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions much lower, for the Hispanic population than for the non-Hispanic white population.

Major causes of death for which Hispanic age-adjusted death

rates were higher than rates for the non-Hispanic white population were as follows: Homicide and legal intervention (for

which the age-adjusted rate for the Hispanic population was

4.92 times the rate for the non-Hispanic white population),

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (1.90 times), Diabetes

mellitus (1.80 times), Nephritis and nephrosis (1.60 times),

and Septicemia (1.5 2 times). Mortality was lower for the Hispanic population than for the non-Hispanic white population

for a number of major causes of death. These included the two

leading causes of death in the United States: Diseases of heart

(27 percent lower) and Malignant neoplasms, including neoplasms of lymphatic and hematopoietic tissues (hereafter

referred to as Malignant neoplasms) (34 percent lower). Other

leading causes of death for which age-adjusted death rates of

the Hispanic population were below those of the non-Hispanic

whhe population were as follows: Cerebrovascular diseases

(20 percent), Suicide (27 percent), Atherosclerosis (19 percent), and Chronic obstructive pulmonaw diseases and allied

conditions (52 percent).

Mortality patterns differed markedly between the Hispanic and the non-Hispanic white population in certain age

groups. For example, mortality from Homicide and legal intervention, which was higher at all ages among Hispanic persons,

shows a particularly pronounced difference among persons

aged 25–44 years; death rates of Hispanic persons were about

six times those of non-Hispanic white persons. Also noted are

the markedly elevated death rates among Hispanic persons

aged 25–44 years for Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis; Hispanic death rates from this cause were almost 2% times those

of the non-Hispanic white population in these ages.

Among the older population (age 65 years and over), the

most pronounced differences in mortality by cause between the

Hispanic and the non-Hispanic white populations were for Diseases of heart, Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and

allied conditions, and Diabetes mellitus. For Diseases of heart,

Hispanic mortality was about one-third lowen for Chronic

obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions, about

one-half loweq and for Diabetes mellitus, about two-thirds

higher. In every age group, the Hispanic mortality rate for

Malignant neoplasms was lower than the non-Hispanic white

death rate.

The difference between the infant mortality rate for the

Hispanic population, 10.9 deaths to children under 1 year of

age per 1,000 live births, and that for the non-Hispanic white

population (10.5) was not statistically significant. Although

neonatal (under 28 days of age) mortality rates were about the

same for the two populations, postneonatal (28 days– 11

months) mortality rates were hugher (18 percent) for the Hispanic population.
Deaths of Hispanic origin

Deaths and death rates

For 1979-81, there was an average of 24,496 deaths

recorded annually among the Hispanic population in the 15

reporting States, resulting in a death rate of 370.8 deaths per

100,000 population (tables 2, 4, and 8). The corresponding

rate for the non-Hispanic white population was 866.1. A large

part of the difference in rates between the two population groups

is due to the greater proportion of the Hispanic population in

the younger age groups, where death rates are low. For example,

in 1980 about 71 percent of the Hispanic population was under

age 35 years compared with 55 percent of the non-Hispanic

white population (14). In making comparisons of mortality

among such population groups it is, therefore, necessary to

adjust for differences attributable to the composition of the respective populations. This is accomplished using age-adjusted

death rates, which show what the level of mortality would be if

there were no differences in age composition among the population groups. Therefore, age-adjusted death rates are better

indicators than unadjusted death rates in showing differences in

the risk of death.

In 1979–81, the average annual age-adjusted death rate for

the Hispanic population was 462.0 deaths per 100,000 population, which was 13 percent lower than that of the nonHispanic white population (529.5) (tables A, 2, and 3). Among

the specified Hispanic groups, there was considerable variation

in mortality, but all groups had lower age-adjusted death rates

than the non-Hispanic white population (table A). Among the

specified Hispanic groups, rates were highest for the Puerto

Rican (5 12.4), followed by Mexican (489.4), Cuban (345.2),

and Other Hispanic (34 1.3) groups. The rates for these groups

were below those of the non-Hispanic white population by 3, 8,

35, and 36 percent, respectively. In comparison, the ageadjusted death rate for the non-Hispanic black population of

the reporting area in 1979–81 was 795.6, or 50 percent above

that of the white non-Hispanic population.

Death rates by sex–age

Death rates by age and Hispanic origin (tables B and 2)

show that, in general, mortality for the Hispanic population for

age groups under 45 years (except 5– 14 years) was higher than

for the non-Hispanic white populatio~ but that it was lower for

age groups 45 years and over. The higher rates for age groups

under 45 years are largely a reflection of death rates by age for

males (figure 2). In contrast, the differences between death

rates for Hispanic females for age groups under 35 years and

those for non-Hispanic white females were not statistically

significant, but for ages 35 years and over the rates for HisTable A. Averege annuel age-adjusted deeth ratea and mortality ratios, by specified Hispanic origin, race for non-Hispanic origin, and sex: Total of

panic females were lower than those for non-Hispanic white

females. The findings for males are consistent with those of

other studies (3,4,7,8). For females, other studies do not show

a consistent pattern of differentials between the Hispanic and

non-Hispanic populations, In a study for Texas, for example,

death rates for Hispanic females, were higher (4); in another

study, for California, rates for Hispanic women were lower

than those for non-Hispanic women (8).

Among the specified Hispanic groups, mortality by age

varies widely (table 2). Compared with rates for non-Hispanic

white males, rates for Mexican and Puerto Rican males for age

groups under 45 years (except 5–14 years and Puerto Rican

males under 1 year) were higher, but rates were lower for ages

45 years and over (except for Puerto Rican males aged 45-64

years). Cuban males in the age group 25–34 years had a higher

death rate than that for non-Hispanic white males, but for age

groups over 45 years, rates for Cuban males were lower. Numbers of deaths to Cuban males under 25 years were too small to

obtain statistically reliable death rates.

Death rates for Mexican females under 1 year and 25-34

years were higher than those for non-Hispanic white females;

for ages 45 years and over, rates were lower than those for nonHispanic white females. The rate for Puerto Rican females 25–

34 years was higher than that for non-Hispanic white females;

at ages 75 yearsand over, the rates were lower. Cuban females

35 years and over had rates lower than those for non-Hispanic

white females. For other age groups, the differences between

the rates for specified Hispanic females and the rates for nonHispanic white females were not statistically significant.

Leading causes of death

Deaths assigned to the 15 leading causes of death for the

total population in the United States for 1980 accounted for 86

percent of Hispanic deaths in the 15 reporting States for 1979–

81 (table 5). (For ranking procedures, see the appendix.) The

ranking of 15 leading caqses of death for the Hispanic population was similar to that for the non-Hispanic white population

except for four causes: Homicide and legal intervention was

the 4th leading cause for the Hispanic population, but the 14th

for the non-Hispanic white population; Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period was 6th for the Hispanic population and 1lth for”thenon-Hispanic white population; Chronic

obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions was 12th

for the Hispanic population and 5th for the non-Hispanic white

population: and Atherosclerosis was 13th for the Hispanic

population and 8th for the non-Hispanic white population.

Differences in the ranking of leading causes of death between the Hispanic and the non-Hispanic white populations

reflect, in part, differences in age composition. When the relative importance of causes of death is established not in terms of

numbers of deaths, but in terms of age-adjusted death rates

(table 6), which control for differences in age composition between the two population groups, cause-of-death rankings between the two groups become more similar. For only two

causes is the relative importance markedly different between

the two population groups: Homicide and legal intervention

was the 5th most important cause of death for the Hispanic

population and 10th for the non-Hispanic white population

and Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions was 10th for the Hispanic, but 5th for the non-Hispanic

white population. In general, when causes of death are ranked

in terms of age-adjusted death rates, the rank order for the Hispanic population resembles more closely that of the nonHispanic black than that of the non-Hispanic white population.

Age-adjusted death rates are not shown in table 6 for two

causes, Congenital anomalies and Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period, because these occur mainly

among infants under 1 year of age. Therefore, the following

discussion covers the 13 leading causes of death. Basic data

are presented in tables 5–7.

Diseases of heart—Diseases of heart was the leading cause

of death for the Hispanic population in the 15 reporting States,

accounting for an average of 6,770 deaths per year (tables 5

and 8). The age-adjusted death rate from this cause was 140.3

deaths per 100,000 population, about 27 percent lower than

the rate for the non-Hispanic white population (193.1 ) (tables

6 and 7). Among each of the three major Hispanic-origin

groups, Diseases of heart was also the leading cause; but for

each group the rate was considerably lower than that for the

non-Hispanic white population. Among the Hispanic groups

the lowest rate was for Cubans (11 5.5), followed by Mexicans

(145. 1), and Puerto Ricans (170.4).

Comparisons of mortality between two population groups

can be expressed as a “mortality ratio,” that is, the rate of one

group divided by the rate of the other. The mortality ratio for

the Hispanic population for Diseases of heart is the ageadjusted death rate for the Hispanic population divided by the

corresponding rate for the non-Hispanic white population:

140.3/1 93.1, or 0.73. The mortality ratio from this cause of

death for the Cuban population in 1979-81 was 0.60 (figure

3), while mortality ratios for the Mexican and Puerto Rican

populations were 0.75 and 0.88, respectively. The ageadjusted death rate for Diseases of heart for the non-Hispanic

black population (250.6) was about 30 percent higher than that

for the non-Hispanic white population (a mortality ratio of

1.30). The pattern of lower mortality from Diseases of heart

for the Hispanic-origin groups was shared by both males and

females, except for Puerto Rican women whose mortality from

this cause differed negligibly from that for non-Hispanic white

women, Other studies have generally reported lower mortality

from Diseases of heart or related causes of death for Hispanic

persons (3,4,6–8,12,13).

Malignant neoplasrns, including neoplasms of lymphatic

attd hwnatopoietic tissues—During 1979–8 1, there was an

average of 3,809 deaths per year for the Hispanic population

from Malignant neoplasms (cancer), the second leading cause

of death. The age-adjusted death rate for the Hispanic population (81,2 deaths per 100,000 population) was 34 percent

lower than the rate for the non-Hispanic white population

( 123.6). The differences between the rate for the Hispanic population as a whole and the rates for the three major Hispanicorigin groups were not statistically significant Cubans had a

rate of 81.6; Mexicans, 84.4; and Puerto Ricans, 86.4. The

rate for the non-Hispanic black population was about twice

that of the Hispanic population (163.5). The lower mortality

from cancer for the total Hkpanic population was shared by

both males and females of each Hispanic-origin group. Lower

mortality from cancer among the Hispanic population has also

been reported in other research (3,6,7,11).

For each of the major components of Malignant neoplasms,

mortality for the Hispanic population was lower than that for

the non-Hispanic white population (tables 9 and 10). For the

Hispanic population, age-adjusted death rates for two components —Malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic

organs and Malignant neoplasm of breast—were about half

those for the non-Hispanic white population.

This pattern generally characterized the three specified Hispanic groups, also, except for Malignant neoplasms of lip, oral

cavity, and pharynx among the Puerto Rican population, for

whom mortality was about one-third higher than for the nonHispanic white population, For the following Hispanic groups

and selected causes of death, mortality ratios differed from

1,00 (table 10), but the differences were not statistically significanceMalignant neoplasms of lip, oral cavity, and pharynx for

Cubans; and Malignant neoplasms of digestive organs and

peritoneum for Puerto Ricans.

Hispanic-origin males as well as females shared the pattern

of lower mortality for the components of Malignant neoplasms.

The anomalously high mortality from Malignant neoplasms of

lip, oral cavity, and pharynx among Puerto Ricans was entirely

attributable to the higher mortality from thk cause for males.

In contrast, for Puerto Rican females, mortality from this cause

was Ioweu but the difference from the rate for the nonHispanic white population was not statistically significant.

.lccidcnts and adverse e~fects—Among the leading causes

of death of Hispanic persons, Accidents and adverse effects

had the third highest age-adjusted death rate, 38.8 deaths per

100,000 population, only slightly higher than the rate for the

non-Hispanic white population (36 .8), Among the specific

Hispanic groups, the rate for Mexicans (46.9) was more than

twice that for Cubans (19 .5), with Puerto Ricans having a rate

between those of the other two groups (25.5). The rate for the

non-Hispanic black population (43 .4) was about 18 percent

higher than the rate for the non-Hispanic white population.

The mortality ratio for Accidents and adverse effects for the

Mexican population was 1.27, reflecting a ratio of 1.37 for

Motor vehicle accidents and 1.15 for All other accidents and

adverse effects. For the Puerto Rican population the mortality

ratio for Accidents and adverse effects was low (0.69) due to a

low ratio for Motor vehicle accidents (0.48); for the Cuban

population the low ratio for Accidents and adverse effects

(0.53) reflected low ratios for both Motor vehicle accidents

(0.58) and All other accidents and adverse effects (0.46).

These differences in mortality between the Hispanic and nonHispanic white population are largely a reflection of higher

accident mortality for males. A study of mortality among the

Hispanic population of Houston also found higher accident

mortality for males (6).

Cerebrovascular diseases— For the Hispanic population,

Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) had the fourth highest average age-adjusted death rate (28.5 deaths per 100,000 population), about 20 percent lower than the rate for the non-Hispanic white population (35.7). Among the specified Hispanic

groups, the rate for Cubans (18. 1) was lowest, about half that

of the non-Hispanic white population. For Puerto Ricans the

rate (24.7) was about a third lower than that for the nonHispanic white population, and for the Mexican population the

rate (32.3) was about a tenth lower. Lower mortality from

stroke has also been found for Hispanics in Houston (6), New

York City (12), and Los Angeles County (13). Both males and

females of the three specified Hispanic groups experienced

lower mortality from Cerebrovascular diseases than non-Hispanic white males and females. The rate for the non-Hispanic

black population (62.9) was 76 percent higher than the rate for

the non-Hispanic white population.

Homicide and legal intervention-The age-adjusted death

rate for Homicide and legal intervention for the Hispanic pop

ulation, 25.6 deaths per 100,000 population, was almost five

times that for the non-Hispanic white population, with a mortality ratio of 4.92. This ratio was the largest among the leading

causes of death and may be compared with a ratio of 7.94 for

the non-Hispanic black population. The mortality ratio was

highest for the Puerto Rican population (6.79), followed by the

Mexican population (4.75) and by the Cuban population (4.02)

(figure 3). With one exception, males and females of each of

the three specified Hispanic groups had higher mortality from

this cause; the exception was Cuban females, whose ageadjusted death rate for Homicide and legal intervention was

lower than that for the non-Hispanic white population, but the

difference was not statistically significant. A number of other

studies have reported higher mortality from Homicide and

legal intervention among the Hispanic than the non-Hispanic

population (3,6,12).

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis— The age-adjusted death

rate for the Hispanic population for Chronic liver disease and

cirrhosis, 17.9 deaths per 100.000 population, was nearly

twice that of the non-Hispanic white population (9.4), Leading

the three specified Hispanic groups, the rate for the Puerto

Rican population (34.2) was nearly four times that for the non9
Hispanic white population and exceeded that of the nonHispanic black population (21.4). For the Mexican population

the rate from this cause was 14.7 per 100,000 population, and

for the Cuban population the rate was 9.2, about the same as

for the non-Hisprmic white population. This pattern of mortality

was shared by both males and females.

Diabetes mellitus— For the Hispanic population, the ageadjusted death rate, 15.8 per 100,000 population, was 1.8

times that of the rate for the non-Hispanic white population

(8.8). The elevated rate for the total Hispanic population

reflects high mortality ratios for the Mexican population (2. 11)

and the Puerto Rican population (1.9 1). The difference between the rate for the Cuban population and the rate for the

non-Hispanic white population was not statistically significant.

The mortality ratio for the non-Hispanic black population

(2. 16) was about the same as that for the Mexican population.

Men and women of each of the three specified Hispanic

groups experienced higher mortality from Diabetes mellitus,

except for Cuban women whose mortality (based on an

average of only four deaths) from this cause was lower than

that for non-Hispanic white women. The difference between

age-adjusted death rates for this cause for Cuban males and

non-Hispanic white males was not statistically significant.

Higher diabetes mortality among Hispanic persons was also

reported in a study based on the Spanish-surname population

of Texas (3,4).

Pneumonia and inj7uenza-The age-adjusted death rate

for Pneumonia and influenza for the Hispanic population, 12.0

deaths per 100,000 population, was about the same as the rate

for the non-Hispanic white population (11 .3). Among the specified Hispanic groups, the rate for the Puerto Rican population

(18. 1) was about 60 percent higher, for the Mexican population (1 1.4) about the same, and for the Cuban population (7.5)

about 34 percent lower than for the non-Hispanic white population. These findings are in contrast to those in a study of the

Texas Spanish-surname population, which showed a higher

rate of mortality from Pneumonia and influenza than among

those who did not have Spanish surnames (3,4), Both males

and females contributed to the higher mortality from Pneumonia and influenza for the Puerto Rican population. For the

Cuban population, only females had lower mortality from this

cause; for males, the difference was not statistically significant,

The age-adjusted death rate for the non-Hispanic black population horn Pneumonia and influenza was 62 percent higher than

that for the non-Hispanic white population.

Suicide—The age-adjusted death rate from Suicide for the

Hispanic population, 8.3 deaths per 100,000 population, like

that of the non-Hispanic black population (6.1), was below

that of the non-Hispanic white population (11.3). Among the

specified Hispanic groups, the Mexican rate (8.2) was 27 percent below and the Puerto Rican rate (9.2) 19 percent below

that for the non-Hispanic white population. The difference between the rate of 12,4 deaths per 100,000 population from

Suicide for the Cuban population and the rate for the nonHispanic white population was not statistically significant. The

lower mortality from this cause for the Mexican population is a

reflection of the pattern for both males and females, while that

for the Puerto Rican population is due only to the lower mortality for females. Cuban females also had lower mortality

(based on an average of only two deaths) from Suicide than did

non-Hispanic white females. A study based on Spanish-surname

males in Houston showed lower suicide mortality for this group

than among non-Hispanic males (6).

Chronic obstructive pulmona~ diseases and allied conditions— Among the leading causes of death, the rank for this

cause differed greatly between the Hispanic population (where

in terms of the level of the age-adjusted death rate it would rank

10th) and the non-Hispanic white population (where it would

rank 5th). The rate for the Hispanic population, 7.5 deaths per

100,000 population, was less than half that of the non-Hispanic

white population (15.7). All three of the specified Hispanic

groups as well as the non-Hispanic black population had rates

lower than that of the non-Hispanic white population. For both

the Mexican and the Cuban populations, both males and females

had lower mortality from this cause than their counterparts in

the non-Hispanic white population but among the Puerto Rican

population, only males had lower mortality from this cause.

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis— For the

Hispanic population, the age-adjusted death rate for this cause,

5.6 deaths per 100,000 population, was about 60 percent

higher than the rate for the non-Hispanic white population

(3.5). This reflects an especially elevated rate for the Mexican

population (7.0), twice that for the non-Hispanic white population. In comparison, for the non-Hispanic black population, the

rate (10.3) is higher yet, almost three times that for the nonHispanic white population. The differences between the ageadjusted death rates for the Puerto Rican and Cuban populations and the rate for the non-Hispanic white population

were not statistically significant. The higher mortality from this

cause for the Mexican population reflected higher mortality for

both Mexican males and females.

Atherosclerosis—Like that for the other two leading cardiovascular diseases, Diseases of heart and Cerebrovascular

diseases, the age-adjusted death rate for Atherosclerosis for the

Hispanic population was below that of the non-Hispanic white

population, 4.2 compared with 5.2 deaths per 100,000 population. The low rate for the total Hispanic population reflects an

even lower rate for Puerto Ricans (3.0). The difference between the rate for the non-Hispanic white population and that

for the Mexican, the Cuban, and the non-Hispanic black populations–5.0, 3.6, and 5.3, respectively–was not statistically

significant, Lower mortality from Atherosclerosis for the

Puerto Rican population was experienced by both males and

females.

Septicemia—For the Hispanic population the age-adjusted

death rate for Septicemia, 3.2 deaths per 100,000 population,

was about 50 percent higher than the rate for the non-Hispanic

white population (2. 1). Similar to the non-Hispanic black population, the rate for the Mexican population (4. 1) was about

twice that for the non-Hispanic white population. The difference between the rate for the non-Hispanic white population

and the rates for the Puerto Rican and the Cuban populations—

1.8 and 1.1, respectively—was not statistically significant.

Higher mortality from Septicemia was shared by both Mexican

males and females, compared with their counterparts in the

non-Hispanic white population.

10
Leading causes by age

Deaths, death rates, and mortality ratios by age and cause

of death also differ between the Hispanic and the non-Hispanic

populations (tables 11–1 3). Many of the differences are not

statistically significant because of the small numbers of deaths.

(See the appendix-in the tables of this repofi statistically

significant differences are denoted by a t.)

1-14 years-Deaths to Hispanic children aged 1–14 years

accounted for less than 3 percent of all Hispanic deaths in the

15-State reporting area during 1979–8 1. The leading causes of

death among Hispanic children of this age were similar to those

of the non-Hispanic white children, with Accidents and adverse

effects the leading cause of death among children in both population groups. Three causes of death accounted for almost

two-thirds (64 percent) of the deaths to Hispanic children

Accidents and adverse effects (45 percent), Malignant neoplasms (10 percent), and Congenital anomalies (9 percent).

Among the major causes of death for this age group, the

greatest difference in mortality between the Hispanic and the

non-Hispanic white populations was for Homicide and legal

intervention, for which the Hispanic rate was almost twice that

of the non-Hispanic white population (a mortality ratio of

1,80). For Mexican children of this age, the mortality ratio for

Homicide and legal intervention was 1.90, and for Motor

vehicle accidents, 1.31. For Puerto Rican children, the rate for

Homicide and legal intervention was about twice that for the

non-Hispanic white population (a mortality ratio of 2.10),

while the rate for Motor vehicle accidents was about 37 percent lower.

15-24 years- Somewhat less than 1 of every 10 deaths

(7,5 percent) among Hispanic persons in the reporting area in

1979-81 were to persons aged 15–24 years. Eight of every ten

of these deaths were attributable to three causes: Accidents

and adverse effects (40 percent), with more than half of these

deaths from Motor vehicle accidents; Homicide and legal intervention (31 percent); and Suicide (9 percent).

The greatest difference in mortality between the Hispanic

and the non-Hispanic white populations in this age group was,

as among children 1– 14 years, for Homicide and legal intervention, with a death rate for the Hispanic populations almost

six times as high (a mortality ratio of 5, 87). Other statistically

significant differences included the following Diseases of heart,

for which Hispanic rates were 38 percent higheq All other

accidents and adverse effects, about 25 percent higheq and

Motor vehicle accidents, 24 percent lower than among nonHispanic white persons.

Among specified Hispanic groups 15–24 years of age, the

average death rate for Mexican persons for Homicide and legal

intervention was about 5.7 times the rate for the non-Hispanic

white population: for Diseases of heart, 1.7 times; and for All

other accidents and adverse effects, almost 1.5 times. For the

Puerto Rican population, the average death rate for Homicide

and legal intervention (the leading cause of death for Puerto

Rican persons of this age), was more than eight times the corresponding rate for the non-Hispanic white population; significantly lower rates were found for Motor vehicle accidents

(about 78 percent lower) and for Suicide (about 35 percent

lower). For the Cuban population, the average death rate for

Homicide and legal intervention was more than three times the

rate for the non-Hispanic white population, but the rate for

Motor vehicle accidents was nearly 70 percent lower.

25–44 years—A total of 13.6 percent of all Hispanic

deaths in the reporting area occurred to persons aged 25-44

years. The five leading causes of death among Hispanic persons in this age group accounted for about 7 of every 10 deaths

(72 percent): Accidents and adverse effects, Homicide and

legal intervention, Malignant neoplasms, Diseases of heart,

and Suicide.

Denoting an elevated risk of death compared with the nonHispanic white population, mortality ratios for Hispanic persons in this age group were above 1,00 for the following causes

of death Homicide and legal intervention (5 .55 ), Chronic liver

disease and cirrhosis (2.42), Pneumonia and influenza (1.44),

Cerebrovascular diseases (1.38), Motor vehicle accidents

(1.21), and All other accidents and adverse effects (1,14).

Indicating a lower relative risk of death than among the nonHispanic white population, mortality ratios were below 1.00

for the following causes of deatlx Diabetes mellitus (0.65),

Malignant neoplasms (0.70), Diseases of heart (0.75), and

Suicide (0.80).

For specified Hispanic groups, mortality ratios (statistically significant) were elevated for the following causes of

death. For Mexican persons, higher ratios included Homicide

and legal intervention (5.47), Motor vehicle accidents (1.57),

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (1.29), All other accidents and

adverse effects (1.26), and Cerebrovascular diseases (1.24).

For Puerto Rican persons, mortality ratios exceeded 1.00 for

the following causes: Homicide and legal intervention (7.10),

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (6.35), Pneumonia and

influenza (3.63), and Cerebrovascular diseases (1.65). For the

Cuban population, a statistically significant higher ratio was

observed for Homicide and legal intervention (4.73).

Death rates for a number of major causes among specified

Hispanic groups aged 25-44 years were lower than for the

non-Hispanic white population in the same age group, as follows (mortality ratio below 1.00): for Mexican persons, Diabetes mellitus (0.55), Malignant neoplasms (0.69), Diseases of

heart (0.74), and Suicide (0.79); for Puerto Rican persons,

Motor vehicle accidents (0.58) and Malignant neoplasms (0.83);

and for Cuban persons, All other accidents and adverse

effects (0.38).

45–64 years— In the 15-State reporting area about one in

four deaths among Hispanic persons occurred to persons aged

45-64 years (23.4 percent). Two causes—Diseases of heart

and Malignant neoplasms— accounted for more than half (54

percent), and five causes— Diseases of heart, Malignant neoplasms, Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, Accidents and

adverse effects, and Cerebrovascular diseases— accounted for

almost three-fourths (73 percent) of Hispanic deaths in this age

group.

For a number of major causes, death rates among Hispanic persons were higher than those among non-Hispanic

white persons; significant differences, reflected in mortality

ratios greater than 1.00. were as follows: Homicide and legal

intervention (4. 17), Diabetes mellitus ( 1.83), Chronic liver

11
disease and cirrhosis (1.79), and Motor vehicle accidents (1.3 1).

Ratios were less than 1.00 for the following causes: Chronic

obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions (0.35),

Suicide (0.53), Malignant neoplasms (0.54), and Diseases of

heart (0,66).

Among the specified Hispanic groups, elevated mortality

ratios were as follows. For the Mexican population, notable

ratios included Homicide and legal intervention (3.72), Diabetes mellitus (2.17), Motor vehicle accidents (1.77), and

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (1.54); for the Puerto Rican

population, Homicide and legal intervention (6.75), Chronic

liver disease and cirrhosis (3.35), Pneumonia and influenza

(2.1 2), and Diabetes mellitus (1.92); and for the Cuban population, Homicide and legal intervention (5.26).

For several causes, death rates of specified Hispanic groups

were lower than those of the non-Hispanic white population in

this age group, as reflected in mortality ratios of less than 1.00.

These lower ratios included, for Mexican persons, Chronic

obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions (0.22),

Suicide (0.47), Malignant neoplasms (0.56), and Diseases of

heart (0.67); for Puerto Rican persons, Malignant neoplasms

(0.60), Motor vehicle accidents (0.66), Suicide (0.72), and

Diseases of heart (0.84); and for Cuban persons, Chronic

obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions (0.26),

Diseases of heart (0.53), Accidents and adverse effects (0.57),

Malignant neoplasms (0.60), and Cerebrovascular diseases

(0.65).

65 years and over-Among the Hispanic population in

the reporting States in 1979–81, about 4 of every 10 deaths

(45 percent) occurred to persons aged 65 years and over, the

age group that accounts for the largest number of deaths annually. Three causes—Diseases of heart, Malignant neoplasms,

and Cerebrovascular diseases— accounted for more than two

of three deaths to Hispanic persons in this age group. The

ranking of the leading causes of death for the Hispanic population for these ages was more similar to that of the non-Hispanic

black population than to the non-Hispanic white population.

For the Hispanic population, death rates were higher than

those for the non-Hispanic white population (as reflected in

mortality ratios greater than 1.00) for the following causes of

death Diabetes mellitus (1,68), Chronic liver disease and

cirrhosis (1.66), Motor vehicle accidents (1.4 1), and Nephritis,

nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis (1.30).

For a large number of major causes, death rates were

lower for the elderly Hispanic population than for non-Hispanic

white persons of the same age (mortality ratio of less than

1.00): Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions (0.5 1), Cerebrovascular diseases (0.61), Atherosclerosis (0.64), Diseases of heart (0.65), Malignant neoplasms

(0.69), All other accidents and adverse effects (0.72), and

Pneumonia and influenza (0.84).

Among persons aged 65 years and over, death rates for

specified Hispanic groups were higher than those for the nonHispanic white population as follows. For Mexican persons,

mortality ratios were higher for Diabetes mellitus (2.01), Motor

vehicle accidents (1.74), Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and

nephrosis (1.70), and Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (1.63).

For Puerto Rican persons, higher ratios included Chronic liver

disease and cirrhosis (2.34) and Diabetes mellitus ( 1.67). For

Cuban persons, the higher death ratio for Chronic liver disease

and cirrhosis was not statistically significant.

Death rates among the elderly Mexican, Puerto Rican,

and Cuban populations were lower than those for non-Hispanic

white persons for a number of major causes of death. For Mexican persons aged 65 years and over, mortality ratios were

lower for Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied

conditions (0.5 1), Diseases of heart (0.69), Cerebrovascular

diseases (0.7 1), Malignant neoplasms (0.73), Atherosclerosis

(0,77), All other accidents and adverse effects (0.86), and

Pneumonia and influenza (0.87). For Puerto Rican persons 65

years and over, ratios were lower for Atherosclerosis (0.4 1),

Cerebrovascular diseases (0.43), All other accidents and adverse effects (0.49), Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases

and allied conditions (0.5 8), Malignant neoplasms (0.68). and

Diseases of heart (0.73). For Cuban persons in this age group,

ratios were lower as follows: All other accidents and adverse

effects (0.34), Cerebrovascular diseases (0.39), Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions (O.39). Diabetes mellitus (0.55), Diseases of heart (0.57), Pneumonia and

influenza (0.6 1), Malignant neoplasms (0.63), and Atherosclerosis (0.63).

Infant mortality

There was an annual average of 1,761 Hispanic infant

deaths (under 1 year of age) in the 15-State reporting area for

1979–8 1 (table C). The infant mortality rate for the Hispanic

population, 10.9 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. did not

differ significantly from the rate of 10.5 for the non-Hispanic

white population, a comparison that is consistent with the findings reported in other studies (2,5,6). However, the postneonatal (28 days– 11 months) mortality rate for the Hispanic

population was higher than for the non-Hispanic white population and the difference was statistically significant (see below).

Among the three specified Hispanic-origin groups, the

infant mortality rate differed from that for the non-Hispanic

white population as follows. For Mexican infants, the rate was

higher, at 11,3 deaths to infants under 1 year per 1,000 live

births (which is consistent with a study in Dallas, Texas) ( 10),

and for Cuban infants the rate was lower, at 4.5 (table C and

figure 4). The difference between the rate for Puerto Rican

infants (11 .4) and that of the non-Hispanic white population

was not statistically significant (another study in New York

City indicated that the rate for Puerto Rican infants was higher)

(11 ). In comparison, the rate for the non-Hispanic black infants

(20.8) was almost twice the rate for the non-Hispanic white

population.

In part because of the small number of deaths, the neonatal mortality rates (deaths to infants under 28 days of age per

1,000 live births) for the total Hispanic population (7.0), for

Mexican persons (7.4), and for Puerto Rican persons (6.7 ) did

not show a statistically significant difference from the rate for

the non-Hispanic white population (7.2). The very low rate for

Cuban persons, 3.5 deaths, was significantly below that for the

non-Hispanic white population.

NOTES Reporting States include average number of infant deaths for Texas for 1980-81 and average number of live b!rths for Georgia and Texas for 1980-81 Numbers of

Infant deaths may not add to totals because of rounding,

Postneonatal mortality rates are deaths to infants 28 days

to 1 year of age per 1,000 live births. Rates for the total Hispanic, Mexican, and Puerto Rican populations (3.9, 3.9, and

4.7, respectively) were higher than the rate of 3.3 for the nonHispanic white population, and the differences were statistically significant. The rate for the non-Hispanic black population was 7.4.

Leading causes of infant mortality for the Hispanic pop

ulation were similar to those for the non-Hispanic white pop

ulation (table 15). Four causes accounted for almost half (48

percent) of all Hispanic infant deaths, as follows: Congenital

anomalies (20 percent), Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)

(9 percent), Respiratory distress syndrome (11 percent), and

Disorders relating to short gestation and unspecified low birthweight (7 percent).

Infant mortality rates were higher for the Hispanic population than for the non-Hispanic white population for Pneumonia

and influenza (37 percent higher) and for Accidents and adverse effects (34 percent); but rates were lower (9 percent) for

Congenital anomalies—the leading cause of infant mortality

for both the Hispanic and the non-Hispanic white populations

(table 16).

Among the three specified Hispanic groups, leading causes

of infant death also varied, Compared with the non-Hispanic

white population, Mexican rates were higher for three major

causes of death Accidents and adverse effects (56 percent),

Birth trauma (43 percent), and Pneumonia and influenza (41

percent). The infant mortality rate among Mexican infants was

lower for Sudden infant death syndrome (18 percent). For

Puerto Rican infants, the rate was higher for Pneumonia and

influenza (70 percent) and for Sudden infant death syndrome

(42 percent). Numbers of infant deaths among Cuban infants

were too small to make meaningful and reliable comparisons of

infant mortality by cause of death.

Maternal mortality

For the 15 reporting States in 1979–81, an average of 17

Hispanic women per year died of maternal causes (table D).

This number includes those deaths among Hispanic women

attributed to a category of the Ninth Revision of the International ClassKlcation of Diseases (ICD–9 ) (15 ) entitled Complications of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium (ICD–

9 Nos. 630–676). The maternal mortality rate for Hispanic

women, 10.5 deaths per 100,000 live births, was 69 percent

higher than the rate for the non-Hispanic white women (6.2).

For Puerto Rican women, the rate (16.2) was more than twice

as high as for non-Hispanic white women. The difference between the maternal mortality rate for non-Hispanic white women

and the rate for Mexican women was not statistically significant. The maternal mortality rate for Cuban women was based

on numbers of death too small to make a reliable comparison

with the rate for non-Hispanic white women.

Technical notes

Nature and sources of data

Concurrent with the 1978 revision of the U.S. Standard

Certificate of Death, the National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS) recommended that States add items to identify the

Hispanic or ethnic origin of the decedent. All 21 reporting

States selected one of two basic formats. The first format was

an open-ended item to obtain the specific origin or descent of

the decedent (for example, Italian, Mexican, Puerto Rican,

English, Cuban, and so forth). The second format was directed

specifically toward the Hispanic population and asked whether

the decedent was of Spanish origin. If so, the specific origin—

Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and so forth-was to be indicated.

In general, mortality statistics are based on State-coded

data provided to NCHS through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP) and on information coded by the National Center for Health Statistics from copies of the original

certificates received from the State registration offices. By

1981, 45 States participated in this program. For these 45

States, part or all of the mortality data for 1981 were provided

on computer tape to NCHS. (For a discussion of State participation in the VSCP for 1979–81, see the Technical Appendixes in Vital Statistics of the United States, Volume IL A40rIality, for the years 1979-81.)

Data for the United States as a whole refer to events

occurring within the United States, Beginning with 1970, mortality statistics exclude deaths of nonresidents of the United

States. All data exclude fetal deaths.

In this report mortality data in tables 1 and 14 are based

on deaths to residents of the 21 reporting States shown in these

tables. In all other tables mortality data are based on deaths

during 1979–8 1 to residents of the following 15 reporting

States: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,

Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota,

Ohio, Texas (1980–81 only), Utah, and Wyoming. For deaths

occurring in these States, reporting of Hispanic or ethnic origin

was at least 90 percent complete and the wording of the question was comparable among the reporting States.

Cause-of-death classification

The mortality statistics presented here are compiled in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) regulations, which specify that member nations classify causes of

death by the current Manual of the International Statistical

Classj’ication of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death.

Causes of death for 1979–8 1 were classified according to

the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (15 ). Besides speci&ing the classification, the WHO

regulations outline the form of medical certification and the

coding procedures to be used. In this report tabulations of

cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying

cause of death. The underlying cause is defined by WHO as

the disease or injury that initiated the train of events leading

directly to death or as the circumstances of the accident or

violence that produced the fatal injury. The underlying cause is

selected from the conditions entered by the physician in the

cause-of-death section of the death certificate. When more

than one cause or condition is entered by the physician, the

underlying cause is determined by the sequence of conditions

on the certificate, provisions of the International Classification

of Diseases (ICD), and associated selection rules. In general,

more medical information is reported on death certificates than

is directly reflected in the underlying cause of death.

Cause-of-death data presented in this publication were

coded by procedures outlined in issues of Part 2a of the NCHS

Instruction Manual (16).

Denominators for computing rates

The denominators used for computing rates (except infant

and maternal mortality rates) shown in this report represent the

population residing in the 15 reporting States and are based on

the April 1, 1980, census enumeration. The figures by race in

the 1980 census are affected by changes in the practices of

reporting race, particularly on the part of the Hispanic population, and in coding and classifying racial groups in the 1980

census. One particular change has created a major inconsistency between the 1980 census data and the historical data

series. About 40 percent of the Hispanic population counted in

1980, more than 5.8 million persons, marked the “other” category instead of one of the specified races listed on the census

questionnaire. In the 1980 census a modification was made in

the coding procedures in the treatment of persons who marked

“other” race and wrote in a national origin designation of a

Latin American country or a specific Hispanic origin group in

response to the race question. These persons remained in the

“other races” category in 1980 census data. In previous censuses and in vital statistics, such responses had been almost

always coded into the “white” category. To maintain comparability, the 1980 census data by race have been redistributed to conform to the historical categories. Unpublished

tabulations of these modified census counts for the non-His69
panic population were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the In obtaining the modified census counts, persons who

Census and were used for the computation of the rates for this marked the “other” race category and who reported any Spanreport. These modified census counts for the non-Hispanic ish origin on the Spanish origin question (5.8 million persons)

population for the combined 15 reporting States are shown in were distributed to white and black races in proportion to the

table I by age and sex. Table I also shows the enumerated pop distribution of Hispanic persons who reported their race to be

ulation for specified Hispanic populations by age and sex white or black. This procedure was done for each age-sex

population, and about 135,000 persons were added to the

black population. Persons who marked the “other” race category and who reported that they were not of Spanish origin

(about 916,000 persons) were distributed as follows: 20 percent in each age-sex group were added to the category “Asian

and Pacific Islander,” and 80 percent were added to the “white”

category (18), The count of American Indians, Eskimos, and

Aleuts was not affected by these procedures.

The U.S. Bureau of the Census has undertaken some

evaluation of the reporting of Hispanic origin in the 1980

census (1). Specifically, the Bureau has evaluated the extent of

misreporting of Mexican origin persons in the census. The

evaluation results suggest that there was some overstatement of

Mexican origin, that is, that some non-Hispanic persons had

misreported their origin as Mexican. The extent of this misreporting varied considerably by State but was found to be

most severe in certain Southern States. However, national data

on the Mexican origin population are not seriously affected by

this reporting problem. To the extent that the number of persons of Mexican origin has been overstated, death rates will be

understated. The Bureau is continuing its evaluation of the

reporting of Hispanic origin, and preliminary evidence suggests

that there is also some underreporting, particularly in certain

Eastern States. More information on this topic may be obtained from the Ethnic and Spanish Statistics Branch, Population Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census.

Infant mortality rates and maternal mortality rates are

based on the 1979-81 average annual numbers of live births

by ethnic origin of the mother for the 15 reporting States

(table H),

Computation of rates

In computing death rates, infant mortality rates, and maternal mortality rates in this report, deaths of unknown (“not

stated”) origin were not distributed among the specified Hispanic and non-Hispanic groups. Thus, the rates for all groups

are underestimates of the true rates.

All rates are based on resident deaths for the 3-year average of 1979–81 for each of the 15 reporting States, except

deaths for Texas, which are based on the 2-year average of

1980–8 1, as the origin item was not added to the Texas death

certificate until 1980.

In addition, the infant and maternal mortality rates are

based cmresident live births for the 3-year average of 1979-81

for each of the 15 reporting States, except live births for

Georgia and Texas, which are based on the 2-year average of

1980–8 1, as the origin item was not added to the live birth certificate until 1980.

Infant mortality rates shown in figure 4 and tables C and

15 are the most commonly used index for measuring the risk of

dying during the first year of lifq they are calculated by dividing

the average number of infant deaths during 1979–81 by the

average number of live births registered for the same period

and are presented as rates per 1,000 or per 100,000 live births.

Infant mortality rates use the average number of live births in

the denominator to approximate the population at risk of dying

before the first birthday.

In contrast to infant mortality rates based on live births,

infant death rates shown in figure 2 and table 2 are based on

the estimated population under 1 year of age. Infant death rates

that appear in tabulations of age-specific death rates are calculated by dividing the average number of infant deaths during

1979–8 1 by the April 1, 1980, census population of persons

under 1 year of age and are presented as rates per 100,000

population in this age group. Because of differences in the

denominators, infant death rates may differ from infant mortality rates.

All rates are based on unrounded average annual numbers

of deaths.

Cause-of-death ranking

The titles used in tables showing rankings of causes of death

are based on leading causes for the entire United States for

1980; the list is not limited to the leading causes for the 15

reporting States. For tables 5–7, the cause-of-death ranking is

based on the 15 leading causes of death for the total population for tables 11– 13, the ranking is based on the 10 leading

causes for each age group; and for tables 15 and 16, the

rankiig is based on the 10 leading causes of infant death.

Cause-of-death rankings for population groups in tables 5–7

and 11– 13 are based on numbers of deaths classified by the

List of 72 Selected Causes of Death, and the cause-of-death

rankings for infants in tables 15 and 16 are based on the List of

61 Selected Causes of Infant Death.

The group titles Major cardiovascular diseases and Symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions are not ranked from the

List of 72 Selected Causes of Death. Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period and Symptoms, signs, and illdefmed conditions are not ranked from the List of 61 Selected

Causes of Infant Death. In addition, category titles that begin

Age-adjusted death rates

Age-adjusted death rates shown in this report are computed

by using the distribution in 10-year age intervals of the enumerated population of the United States in 1940 as the standard population. Each figure represents the rate that would

have existed if the age-specific rates of the particular year prevailed in a population whose age distribution was the same as

that of the United States in 1940. The rates for the total population and for each Hispanic-sex and non-Hispanic-sex group

were adjusted using the same standard population. It is important not to compare age-adjusted death rates with crude rates.

The standard 1940 population, on the basis of 1 million total

population, is as follows:

Random variation in mortality

The analysis of mortality in this report maybe affected by

the small number of deaths involved. Numbers of deaths in this

report are not subject to sampling error, but they are subject to

random variation, which may be large when the number of

events is small (perhaps less than 100) (19). The extent of random variation may be indicated by a confidence interval about

the rate.

For rates based on a total of 1,000 deaths or less for the

total 3-year period (or three times the average annual number

shown in tables C, D, 4, 5, 8, 11, and 17), the Poisson probability distribution was used to estimate the 95-percent confidence interval (20). For a given number of deaths (N), the

upper and lower confidence limits are estimated by multiplying

the death rate by the upper limit(U) and lower limit(L) factors

shown in table III.

For rates based on a total of more than 1,000 deaths for the

3-year period, 95-percent contldence limits were estimated

as follows:

If N is the number of deaths in the population and R is the

corresponding rate, then the upper limit of the rate is

2R

R+—

fi

and the lower limit of the rate is

Confidence intervals for age-adjusted death rates were estimated using the total number of deaths for the 3-year period

rather than a weighted average of the variances of the agespecific death rates that comprise the age-adjusted death rate.

Generally, the difference between the rate for the total Hispanic population, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, or the

non-Hispanic black population and the corresponding rate for

the non-Hispanic white population was assumed to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level if their respective confidence

limits did not overlap. These statistically significant differences

are denoted by a dagger (t).

The. latest in a series of reports

from the Hispanic Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey

(HHANES) has just been released by

the National Center for Health

Statistics (NCHS), The report, Serum

L@ids and Lipoproteins of Hispanics,

2!7S24./, includes estimates of total

serum cholesterol, high density

lipoprotein cholesterol, and serum

triglycerides for each Hispanic

subgroup in the sample area, In

addition, there are calculated values

of the ratio of total serum cholesterol

to high density lipoprotein cholesterol

and calculated values of low density

lipoprotein cholesterol,

Data presented from the sample

areas show that approximately

16 percent of Mexican Americans,

18 percent of Cuban Americans, and

17 percent of Puerto Ricans have

high serum cholesterol levels. In

comparison, past studies have shown

that approximately 27 percent of all

adults living in the United States have

high cholesterol.

In 1982-84, HHANES was

conducted and data were obtained

from the three largest Hispanic

subgroups residing in households in

three distinct geographic areas of the

United States: Mexican Americans in

the Southwest area; Cuban

Americans in Miami (Dade County,

Florida); and Puerto Ricans in the

New York City area. HHANES was

the first large scale study covering the

health and nutritional status of the

three Hispanic subgroups.

Previously, from 1960 through

1980, NCHS conducted five
