To assess progress in reducing mortality between 1980 and 1999 among Wisconsin residents aged 65-74, to identify disparities, and to propose future goals.
Mortality rates for 1980-1984 were compared to those from 1995-1999 using data obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's WONDER database. Percent change in rates were calculated and projected to 2010, and annual numbers of lives saved were estimated.
The mortality rate for persons aged 65-74 has decreased 12.4%-17.5% in men and 6.3% in women. However, no reductions were observed for blacks. An estimated 1325 fewer deaths occur each year, with white men accounting for >80% of these savings. Mortality rates decreased for heart disease (-38%) and stroke (-26%), but increased for cancer (+6%).
Significant progress has been made in reducing mortality among Wisconsin residents aged 65-74, but not among blacks. Most of the progress is due to decreased deaths from heart disease and stroke, particularly for white men.
评估1980年至1999年间威斯康星州65 - 74岁居民在降低死亡率方面的进展，确定差异，并提出未来目标。
使用从疾病控制和预防中心的WONDER数据库获得的数据，将1980 - 1984年的死亡率与1995 - 1999年的死亡率进行比较。计算死亡率的百分比变化并预测到2010年，估计每年挽救的生命数量。
65 - 74岁人群的死亡率男性下降了12.4% - 17.5%，女性下降了6.3%。然而，黑人的死亡率没有下降。估计每年死亡人数减少1325人，其中白人男性占这些挽救生命数的80%以上。心脏病（-38%）和中风（-26%）的死亡率下降，但癌症（+6%）的死亡率上升。
威斯康星州65 - 74岁居民在降低死亡率方面取得了显著进展，但黑人除外。大部分进展归因于心脏病和中风死亡人数的减少，特别是白人男性。
