Final annual mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System for a given year are typically released 11 months after the end of the calendar year. Provisional data, which are based on preliminary death certificate data, provide an early estimate of deaths before the release of final data. In 2023, a provisional total of 3,090,582 deaths occurred in the United States. The age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population was 884.2 among males and 632.8 among females; the overall rate, 750.4, was 6.1% lower than in 2022 (798.8). The overall rate decreased for all age groups. Overall age-adjusted death rates in 2023 were lowest among non-Hispanic multiracial (352.1) and highest among non-Hispanic Black or African American persons (924.3). The leading causes of death were heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injury. The number of deaths from COVID-19 (76,446) was 68.9% lower than in 2022 (245,614). Provisional death estimates provide an early signal about shifts in mortality trends. Timely and actionable data can guide public health policies and interventions for populations experiencing higher mortality.
某一年来自国家生命统计系统的最终年度死亡率数据通常在日历年结束后的11个月发布。基于初步死亡证明数据的临时数据在最终数据发布之前提供了死亡情况的早期估计。2023年，美国临时死亡总数为3090582人。每10万人口中经年龄调整的死亡率男性为884.2，女性为632.8；总体死亡率为750.4，比2022年（798.8）低6.1%。所有年龄组的总体死亡率均有所下降。2023年，非西班牙裔多种族人群的总体年龄调整死亡率最低（352.1），非西班牙裔黑人或非裔美国人的总体年龄调整死亡率最高（924.3）。主要死因是心脏病、癌症和意外伤害。新冠病毒感染死亡人数（76446人）比2022年（245614人）低68.9%。临时死亡估计为死亡率趋势的变化提供了早期信号。及时且可采取行动的数据可以指导针对死亡率较高人群的公共卫生政策和干预措施。
