This report, following publication of the national life tables (1,2) for 1999-2001, presents state-specific life tables for the 50 states and District of Columbia by race (white and black) and sex. These tables are the most recent in a series of decennial life tables for the United States.
Data used to prepare these state-specific life tables include population counts by age on the census date of April 1, 2000; deaths occurring in the 3-year period of 1999-2001; and counts of U.S. resident births during 1997-2001. Methods for calculating the life tables were modified from the previous decennial life tables to automate the smoothing of age-specific mortality data and to allow for the estimation of life tables for smaller population subgroups, which often had insufficient data available to estimate reliable life tables under the previous method. The current method allows for the estimation of life tables for the black population in six states, which were never previously published due to small numbers of deaths. Standard errors for estimating life expectancy and probability of dying are also presented in this report.
Among the 50 states, Hawaii had the highest life expectancy at birth during the 1999-2001 period at 80.23 years, and Mississippi had the lowest life expectancy at 73.88 years. Life expectancy for the District of Columbia was even lower at 73.09 years. State-specific life expectancy at birth improved from the previous decennial period (1989-1991) for all states and the District of Columbia. Life expectancy at age 65 ranged from 20.42 years in Hawaii to 16.61 years in Kentucky. Life expectancy at age 65 also improved for all states except Kentucky.
本报告在公布1999 - 2001年全国生命表（1,2）之后，按种族（白人及黑人）和性别列出了50个州及哥伦比亚特区的各州特定生命表。这些表格是美国一系列十年一度生命表中的最新表格。
用于编制这些各州特定生命表的数据包括2000年4月1日人口普查日按年龄统计的人口数；1999 - 2001年3年期内发生的死亡数；以及1997 - 2001年期间美国居民出生数。计算生命表的方法是在先前十年一度生命表的基础上修改而来的，以自动平滑特定年龄死亡率数据，并允许对较小人口亚组的生命表进行估计，而在先前方法下，这些亚组往往没有足够的数据来估计可靠的生命表。当前方法允许对六个州的黑人人口生命表进行估计，由于死亡人数少，这些生命表以前从未公布过。本报告还列出了估计预期寿命和死亡概率的标准误差。
在50个州中，夏威夷在1999 - 2001年期间出生时的预期寿命最高，为80.23岁，密西西比州最低，为73.88岁。哥伦比亚特区的预期寿命更低，为73.09岁。所有州和哥伦比亚特区出生时的各州特定预期寿命均比上一个十年期（1989 - 1991年）有所提高。65岁时的预期寿命从夏威夷的20.42岁到肯塔基州的16.61岁不等。除肯塔基州外，所有州65岁时的预期寿命也有所提高。
