PREFACE
The State Center for Health and Environmental Statistics periodically produces a major publication describing
North Carolina's mortality experience for a five-year period. The 1988 Leading Causes ofMortality, the fourth
major publication of this type, included statistical tables, maps, and graphs, as well as an analysis for each leading
cause of death in North Carolina. In the interim years, the Center publishes supportive reports ofmapped and tabular
data only.
This edition of Leading Causes ofMortality is a supportive report which should be used for purposes of health
planning and analysis in conjunction with the 1988 edition. Another report that can be used is Detailed Mortality
Statistics, which provides annual counts of deaths classified according to detailed underiying causes of death and
the age, race, and sex of decedents.
The tables and maps in this report show selected mortality statistics for counties. Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources regions, and the state (see map on preceding page). More than a dozen of North
Carolina's leading causes of mortality are depicted in tliese tables and maps. In addition, major site-specific cancers
and total infant mortality are also tabled and mapped. Tables 1 .A and 1 .B on pages 4-3 and 4-4 describe tlie selected
cause-of-death categories in terms of codes from the International Qassification of Diseases (Ninth Revision).
Altogether, the causes included in this report accoimted for 84.6 percent of all North Carolina deaths during 1991
.
As with previous editions, multiple conditions present at death are included in this volume. Five diseases in
particular-septicemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and nephritis/nephrotic syndrome/
ncphrosis-are considered associated conditions farmore often than they are considered an underlying cause. Hence,
Figures 19.A through 23.B display 1987-9 1 county rates for deaths associated with a mention of each of tliese
diseases. Meanwhile, rates corresponding to these diseases as underlying causes are tabulated but not mapped in
Uiis volume.
Users .should note a change in the standard used to calculate the five-year adjusted rates. Wliereas pre- 1990
reports used the relevant five-year North Carolina population as the standard, this report uses the 1980 Nortli
Carolina population as the standard. This same standard will be used in subsequent years to allow tlie user to compare
the five-year adjusted rates overtime, beginning with 1986-90.
Users should also note that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been added, since it now ranks
among the leading causes of death and since five years of data are now available. Prior to 1987. AIDS deaths were
coded as "deficiency of cell-mediated immunity," which could also include conditions other than AIDS. Beginning
in 1987, AIDS deaths are coded separately to ICD-9 codes 042-044.
IN USING THIS VOLUME PLEASE NOTE THE SECTIONS ON INTERPRETATION OF MORTALITY
RATES (Section II) AND CAUTION ABOUT UNSTABLE RATES (Section III).

I. COMPUTATION OF MORTALITY RATES
In this report, total death rates are expressed as resident deaths per 1,000 population, while all cause-specific
mortality rates are expressed as resident deaths per 100,000 population. All rates in Tables 1 -2 1 use total population
in the denominator, except rates for the sex-specific cancer sites, which use male or female population in the
denominator. Population bases for these rates were provided by the Office of State Planning in tlie Governor's
Office. The infant mortality rates of Table 22 and Figure 1 8 are computed as the number of resident deaUis under
one year of age per 1 ,000 resident live births.
Vital events in this report are allocated to place of residence. For deaths of persons in long-temi institutions
(mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual residence
provided the decedent had resided in the institution at least one year. College students and military personnel are
considered residents of the college or military community.
Tlie following definitions apply to the rates of this report:
Unadjusted Annual Death Rate: tfie annual death rate computed as resident deatlis per 1,000 or 100.000
population. These rates rcfiect an area's status according to the observed incidence of mortality during Oie given
year.
Unadjusted 5-Year Death Rate: the average annual death rate computed as average resident deaths per 1,000 or
100,000 average population. These rates give an area's status with respect to the observed incidence of mortality
during the five-year period. These rates are depicted in the Series A maps (e.g.. Figures 2.A, 3. A).
Adjusted5-YearDeath Rate: the average annual age-race-sex-adjusted rates computed by the direct method. Also
expressed as deaths per 1 ,000 or 1 00,000 population, these rates are those which would be expected if the average
annual age, race, and sex composition of each county's population were the same as that estimated for \hc state.
Tiiese rates arc free of differing effects of age, race, and sex, offering knowledge of an area's status wiili respect
to other determinants of mortality during tlic five-year period. However, tlie user should not compare an adjusted
dcalli rate to an unadjusted death rate. Also, adjusted rates for different time periods cannot be directly compared
unless they were adjusted by the same standard population. The adjusted rates for the 1987-91 time period use the
1980 North Carolina population as the standard, and that same standard will be used in subsequent repons so ttiat
five-year adjusted rates can be compared over time (beginning with 1986-90). The adjusted rates are depicted in
the Series B maps (e.g.. Figures 2.B, 3.B). [Note: For the two sex-specific cancer sites (female breast and prostate),
rates are adjusted for age and race, and denominators are sex-specific]
For the maps, a clustering routine* from the Statistical Analysis System (S AS) was used to group counties Uiat
are "most like each otlicr" with respect to tlieir unadjusted and their adjusted rate. Tlicsc maps show five levels of
death rates, where level one is the lowest rate interval and level five the highest.
A wordofcaution: Ratesforsex-specific cancers (e.g., prostate) usemaleorfemale population in Uiedenominator
and therefore are not comparable to other rates. Thus, in ranking the causes of death—for example, in ranking the
leading cancer sites—one must use the observed numbers of deaths rather than the rates.
*Ii-i 1983 theStateCenter for Health and Environmental Statistics conducted ancvaluationofscveralclustcringniethods.lt was found
tlial the "Average Linkage Method" produced tighter clusters (i.e., clusters with smaller within-clustcr variances) than the other
methods examined. Consequently, this method is used to cluster county rates in this publication.

n. INTERPRETATION OF MORTALITY RATES
To assess an area's relative mortality conditions during a five-year period, both the unadjusted and the adjusted rate
can be compared to the corresponding state rates for a particular cause of death. This, of course, should not be done if
the area's unadjusted rate had fluctuated widely in recent years. The rate should represent a relatively stable situation.
Then, the following alternative interpretations will apply:
Relative Status Of
Unadjusted Adjusted
Rate Rate Interpretation of Unadjusted Rate
Lx)w Low Low mortality is not due to age, race, and sex factors; other mortality
conditions are favorable.
Low High Low mortality is due to favorable age, race, and sex factors; other mortality
conditions are unfavorable.
High Low High mortality is due to unfavorable age, race, and sex factors; other
mortality conditions are favorable.
High High High mortality is not due to age, race, and sex factors; other mortality
conditions are unfavorable.
In using adjusted rates, it is important that the user understand the reason for adjustment. Example: A and B stand
for population subgroups, e.g., whites and nonwhites, males and females, etc.
Population
Population A 300,000
Populadon B 10,000
Total 310,000
Deaths per 100,000 population.
Compared to the state, county subgroups A and B both have lower rates, but the county as a whole (A and B combined)
has a higher rate. This seemingly paradoxical situation results from two factors: different proportions of A and B in the
county vs. the state population and wide differences between the rates forAvs. B . In this example, it is true that the county
has the higher total rate—BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE POPULATION CONTAINS A HIGH PROPORTION OF
SUBGROUP A.
Certainly, it is important for program planners to know that the county has a high rate relative to the state rate; this
information is needed in determining manpower, facility, and related needs. But in assessing "risk," the researcher needs
to adjust for confounding factors such as age or race. To do this, multiply each population-specific county rate by the
corresponding "standard" population, sum theseresults, and divide by the total "standard." In the above example, using
the state population as the standard, the computation is:
(1000/300,000 x 500,000) -i- (10/10,000 x 800,000)
= 0.001897 or 189.7
1 ,300,000 per 100,000 population
Thus, as rates specific for A and B imply, the county's rate is lower than the state's rate after adjustment for the
factor represented by A and B.
Caution!
In assessing the relative mortality conditions of a county, be particularly aware of rates based on small numbers of
deaths since, in such cases, random fluctuation in the rate may render rate compari.sons risky. The reader should read
very carefully the next section entitled "Caution About Unstable Rates."

Deaths
ni. CAUTION ABOUT UNSTABLE RATES
Any rate with a small number of events (deaths) in tlie numerator will have substantial random variability over
time, or a large standard error. A useful rule ofthumb is that any rate based on fewer than 20 events in the numerator
may involve serious random error and should be used very cautiously in making comparisons or assessing trends.
Many of the rates in this volume do have numerators smaller than 20.
In addition to the problem of a large standard error in death rates due to a small numerator, the age-race-sex-adjusted
rates in this volume may be unstable because of smaU age-race-sex population groups. One death out of
an estimated population of five, for example, would produce a death rate of 20,000 per 100,000 population. If this
rate were applied to the appropriate age-race-sex group of the standard population, a very large number of expected
deaths would result and the adjusted rate would be extremely high. On the other hand, zero deaths in several
population groups may result in a very low age-race-sex-adjusted rate. Counties with a very small nonwhite
population, predominantly in western North Carolina, are particularly subject to extreme age-race-sex-adjusted
rates (high or low) due to small age-race-sex-spccific population groups. Unusually high orlow rates in this volume
should, therefore, be interpreted with caution.

rV. NORTH CAROLINA MORTALITY HIGHLIGHTS
In the 1988 Leading Causes ofMortality, extensive analyses of North Carolina's mortality experience were
presented. That volume contains statistical tables, maps, and graphs as well as cause-specific discussions of trends,
geographic patterns, risk factors, and recent research.
There has been little change in the overall mortality picture since 1988. Therefore, this section will highlight 199
1
death rates for selected causes (depicted in Tables l.A and l.B) and recent changes in the unadjusted death rates.
The reader should consult the 1988 volume for a detailed discussion of each cause.
• Table 1 shows that 58,827 North Carolinians died in 1 99 1 , for a crude rate of 8.7 deaths per 1 ,fX)0 population.
Tlie 1991 crude death rate was up from the 1990 rate of 8.6. The five-year (1987-91) crude death rate was 8.7.
• The median age at death in 1991 was 72.5 years, down from 72.8 in 1989 and 73. 1 in 1990. In general, the
median age at death has increased steadily over the last three decades.
• In descending order, the 10 leading causes ofdeath in 1990wereheartdisease,cancer,cerebrovasculardisease,
unintentional injuries, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia and influenza, diabetes, homicide,
suicide and chronic liver disease/cirrhosis. These causes accounted for 8 1 percent of total deaths in 199 1 . The
two leading causes—heart disease and cancer—accounted for 55 percent of total deaths.
• The mortality rate for heart disease increased by less than one percent, following a decrease of more than three
percent in each of 1989 and 1990.
• Cancer mortality, which has increased steadily during tlie last 10 years, decreased slightly (0.2 percent) in
199 1 . Among the four major cancers, cancer of the trachea, bronchus, and lung decreased by 2.9 percent while
female breast cancer rose by 4.5 percent. Prostate and colon cancer mortality remained virtually unchanged.
Among the less common cancers, cancer of the cervix uteri increased 11.1 percent while leukemia decreased
by 9.7 percent. Mortality from cancers of the stomach, skin (malignant melanoma), and lar>Tix each increased
by 7 to 8 percent, while pancreatic cancer decreased by 6.9 percent.
• The mortality rate for AIDS increased 43 percent during 1991, which foUows a mere two percent increase
during 1990.
• Among the other diseases presented in Table l.A, the mortality rate forsepticemia increased most (about 14
percent), which follows a three percent decline in 1990. Diabetes increased by about ten percent, following
a decrease of three percent in 1990; and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increased about nine percent,
following an increase of four percent in 1990. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis decreased more than nine
percent, following a decrease of more than seven percent during the preceding year. The mortality rate for
ncpiiritis/nephrosis increased seven percent, which follows a six percent increase in 1990.
• Aside from AIDS, the homicide rate displayed the greatest percent change in a mortality rate between 1990
and 1991, an increase of nearly 15percent.Tliis follows increases of 20 percent in 1989 and eight percent in
1990.
• Tlie suicide rate decreased 10 percent, following increases of 10 percent in 1989 and five percent in 1990.
• The state's infant death rate rose 2.8 percent in 1 99 1 to 1 0.9 deaths per 1 ,000 live births. Tlie change was due
largely to an increase in tlie nonwhite postneonatal component of the rate.
4-1
Tlie above changes reflect increases and decreases in unadjusted death rates during 1990 and 1991. After
adjusting forchanges in the state's age structure, the following majorpercentage changes in mortality risk occurred
among the leading causes between the last two five-year periods (1982-86 and 1987-91):
Total mortality decreased three percent.
Two of the three major causes (heart disease and cerebrovascular disease) decreased by 12 and 13 percent
respectively, while cancer increased six percent
Prostate cancer increased 17 percent; brain cancer, 17 percent; cancer of the trachea, bronchus, and lung, 14
percent; and malignant melanoma, 13 percent. Cervical cancer decreased 18 percent.
Mortality rates for diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increased 33 and 13 percent
respectively.
The mortality rate for homicide increased 14 percent while the rate for suicide fell two percent.
The rate for atherosclerosis (which is rarely considered an underlying cause) fell by 39 percent, and the rate
for nephritis/nephrosis decreased by 16 percent
