1		Figure 2-165 Number of deaths of U.S. residents aged 15 or older with hypersensitivity pneumonitis recorded as an underlying or contributing cause on the death certificate, 1979-1999. The annual number of hypersensitivity pneumonitis deaths generally increased during 1979-1999, from fewer than 15 per year in 1979 to 57 in 1999. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis was designated as the underlying cause of death in at least half of deaths associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis for every year except 1982. (Source: NIOSH [2002e].)
2		Figure 2-166 Age-adjusted mortality rates for hypersensitivity pneumonitis in U.S. residents aged 15 and older by State, 1990-1999. States with higher hypersensitivity pneumonitis mortality rates during 1990-1999 were in the upper Midwest, the northern Plains and Mountain States, and New England. In the group of States with the highest mortality from hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rates ranged from three to five times the U.S. rate of 0.2 per million. (Source: NIOSH [2002e].)
3		Figure 2-167 Distribution and number of hypersensitivity pneumonitis deaths in U.S. residents aged 15 or older by sex and race, 1990-1999. Nearly 29% of hypersensitivity pneumonitis deaths occurred in women during 1990-1999. White residents accounted for 95.7% of hypersensitivity pneumonitis deaths during this period.
