Description:Key findings
Data from the National Vital Statistics System
• The age-adjusted death rate for Hispanic adults aged 25 and over declined 21% from 2000 (995.1 per 100,000 standard population) through 2017 (784.4).
• Age-adjusted death rates for non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black adults aged 25 and over declined from 2000 to 2011–2012, but remained stable through 2017.
• Between 2000 and 2017, the difference in age-adjusted death rates between non-Hispanic white and Hispanic adults aged 25 and over widened, whereas the difference between non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black adults narrowed.
• Death rates for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic adults aged 25–44 increased between 2012 and 2017.
Hispanic adults in the United States have experienced lower overall mortality and consequently higher life expectancy than non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black adults (1,2). This report presents recent trends in age-adjusted death rates from 2000 through 2017 for adults aged 25 and over for Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, and non-Hispanic black adults, overall and by specific age groups (25–44, 45–64, and 65 and over).
