Method & caveats. NCHS age-adjusted death rate: the NCHS historical table (data.cdc.gov 6rkc-nb2q) for 1900–2018, Health, United States Table SlctMort for 2019, and CDC WONDER Underlying Cause of Death final data for 2020–2024 (read through a real browser and checked in; its 2018–2019 values equal the Health US table). If a later year exists only in the NCHS VSRR provisional quarterly series it is added flagged provisional. Rates use the 2000 U.S. standard population; the 1999 ICD-10 transition requires comparability consideration. The two NCHS long-run mortality tables (6rkc-nb2q and SlctMort) differ by up to 0.4 per 100,000 for 1991–1997, a normal cross-publication revision.
