Description:In 1987,2,123,323 deaths were registered in the United States, 17,962 more than in 1986 and the largest annuaI final number ever recorded. Contributing 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 1987 was 872.4 deaths per 100,000 population, about the same as the rate of 873.2 in 1986. Provisional data for 1988 indicate the death rate (883.0) to be up from 1987.
