INTRODUCTION: Healthy @entity1 2020 (HP2020) calls for a 10% to 15% reduction in @entity204 rates from 2007 to 2020 for selected @entity5 . Trends in @entity204 rates can be used to predict progress toward meeting HP2020 targets. METHODS: We used mortality data from 1975 through 2009 and population estimates and projections to predict @entity204 for all @entity5 and the top 23 @entity5 among @entity1 and @entity1 by race. We apportioned changes in @entity204 from population risk and population growth and aging. RESULTS: From 1975 to 2009, the number of @entity5 @entity204 increased among white and black Americans primarily because of an aging white population and a growing black population. Overall, age-standardized @entity5 rates (risk) declined in all groups. From 2007 to 2020, rates are predicted to continue to decrease while counts of @entity204 are predicted to increase among @entity1 (15%) and stabilize among @entity1 (increase <10%). Declining @entity204 rates are predicted to meet HP2020 targets for @entity5 of the female breast, lung and bronchus, cervix and uterus, colon and rectum, oral cavity and pharynx, and prostate, but not for @entity320 . CONCLUSION: @entity5 among @entity1 overall are predicted to increase by less than 10%, because of, in part, declines in breast, cervical, and @entity14 @entity204 among white @entity1 . Increased efforts to promote @entity5 prevention and improve survival are needed to counter the impact of a growing and aging population on the @entity5 burden and to meet @entity320 target @entity204 rates.
