U.S.
Decennial Life Tables for 1989-91, Volume 1, Number 4, Eliminating Certain
Causes of Death, 1989-91. pp. 18. (PHS) 99-1150-4. This report shows multiple-decrement life table functions and cause-elimination life tables for 51 selected causes of death for 1989-91. Tables are shown disaggregating the data by sex and race (total population, total males, total females, white males, white females, black males, black females). It is the fourth in a set of reports released from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) presenting life table data for the United States during the period 1989-91. The U.S. decennial life table program dates from the beginning of the twentieth century when the Bureau of the Census produced life tables for the period 1900-1902. However, cause-elimination life tables have only been published previously for the periods 1959-61, 1969-71, and 1979-81.
