Description:The provisional number of live births for 1987 was slightly higher than the number reported for 1986 and was the largest number observed since 1964. The birth rate per 1,000 population and the fertility rate per 1,00.0 women aged 15-44 years also increased between 1986 and 1987.
In 1987 the provisional number of marriages increased from the comparable figure for 1986. However, because the population increased at a greater rate, the marriage rate for 1987 declined and was at the lowest level since 1977.
The number of divorces decreased by less than 1 percent between 1986 and 1987, and the divorce rate per 1,000 population remained the same.
The provisional number of deaths increased in 1987 to the highest number ever reeorded, primarily reflecting the continued increase in the proportion of the population 65 years of age and over. The age-adjusted death rate and the infant mortality rate, however, declined to the lowest levels on reeord in the United States, and life expectancy at birth remained at the rewrd high attained in 1986. Age-adjusted death rates decreased in 1987 for one leading cause of death, Diseases of heart. Within the category Accidents and adverse effects, the rate for AI1 other aeeidents declined. Changes for the remaining 13 of the 15 leading causes of death were not statistically significant.
