Description:In 1979 a total of 1,913,841 resident deaths occurred in the United States, 13,947 fewer than in the previous year. The age-adjusted death rate in 1979—a year free of influenza epidemics—marked the lowest level ever recorded. Infant mortality attained a record low, and life expectancy reached a record high of almost 74 years. The largest gains in life expectancy during the previous 9 years were for black females, ollowed by black males, white females, and white males. Based on life expectancy at birth, the data show that women would be expected to outlive men by an average of 7.7 years, and the white population to out- live the black population by an average of 6.1 years.
