Sources: Health Insurance data come from National Health Statistics Reports, No. 1; 2005 birth data come from National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 56, No. 6; 2006 preliminary birth data come from National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 56, No. 7; Infant mortality data come from the 2005 period linked birth/infant death data set; Leading cause of death data come from National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 56, No. 10 and rankings are based on age-adjusted death rates. States are categorized from highest rate to lowest. Although adjusted for differences in age-distribution and population size, rankings by state do not take into account other state specific population characteristics that may effect the level of mortality. When the number of deaths is small, rankings by state may be unreliable due to instability in death rates. For more information on age-adjustment, click Here.
