Description:In 1991 a record 2,169,518 deaths were registered in the United States, 1,519 more than the previous high of 2,167,999 deaths recorded in 1988 and 21,055 more deaths than in 1990. The death rate for 1991 was 860.3 deaths per 100,000 population compared with the rate of 863.8 in 1990 and 871.3 in 1989. Provisional data for 1992 suggest that the death rate is continuing to decline. The age-adjusted death rate, which eliminates the effects of the aging of the population, was at a record low of 513.7 per U.S. 100,000 standard million population, 1.2 percent below the 1990 rate of 520.2 and 12.3 percent below the 1980 rate of 585.8. The age-adjusted rate decreased for the white and black populations between 1990 and 1991.
