New US Record Life Expectancies
The overall death rate from all causes in the U.S. was down slightly in the year 2000, while Americans' average life expectancy went up to an all-time high, according to preliminary government figures.
Heart disease killed 709,894 persons in 2000 and remains the number one killer of Americans, although it caused 4% fewer deaths last year than the year before. Cancer, stroke, and chronic lower respiratory system diseases like emphysema are the other leading causes of death, according to the annual mortality report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile, nearly 42,000 people lost their lives in car accidents.
American males born in 2000 now enjoy an average life expectancy of 74.1 years, up 0.2 years from 1999. Females have an average life expectancy of 79.5 years, up 0.1 years. Both figures tied or exceeded all-time life expectancy records, according to Reuters Washington (October 10, 2001)
