• Description:
  In this report the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) presents mortality data in greater race detail than has previously been presented for the Asian or Pacific Islander (API) population.
  
  Deaths, estimated death rates, age-adjusted death rates, exploratory life expectancies, and ranking of leading causes are presented for a selected area.
  
  Results: In 1992 a total of 19,478 deaths occurred in the Asian or Pacific Islander population in the seven States examined in this report. Heart disease and cancer were the two leading causes of death for each of the Asian or Pacific Islander subgroups. By age there is striking variation in leading causes among the race groups. Among the API subgroups in these States, age-adjusted death rates are greatest for the Samoan and Hawaiian populations and smallest for the Asian Indian, Korean, and Japanese populations. Life expectancy is lowest for the Hawaiian and Samoan populations.
