Description:In 1985 a total of 2,086,440 deaths were registered in the United States, 47,071 more than in 1984 and the largest an nual final number ever recorded. Contributng to the increased number of deaths were population growth and the “aging” of the U.S. population, that is, the increasing proportion of older persons. The death rate for 1985 was 873.9 deaths per 100,000 population, slightly higher than the rate of 862.3 in 1984. As in the previous two years, 1985 was a year with elevated intluenza morbidity and mortalhy, the death rate for Pneumonia and in fluenza was 28.3 deaths per 100,000 population compared with a rate of 24.9 in 1984 and 21.1 in 1982. Nearly half of the increase in the death rate between 1984 and 1985 is attributable to increases in the death rates for Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions and Pneumonia and influenza. Provisional data for 1986 indicate a slightly lower death rate (870.8) than in 1985 for all causes of death combined.
