A consensus set of health status indicators was released in July 1991 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for use by public health officials at the Federal, State, and local levels in identifying and monitoring issues of public health importance. These health status indicators have been projected for the Year 2000 in Allegheny County, PA, with linear regression analyses of historical data. Indications are that mortality rates for black infants, breast cancer mortality, suicide, lung cancer mortality, incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and the number of measles cases likely will not meet the year 2000 targets in Allegheny County. These data will prove useful in monitoring progress towards the year 2000 objectives and provide comparative data for other geographic areas of the United States with similar demographic characteristics.
1991年7月，美国疾病控制与预防中心发布了一套共识性的健康状况指标，供联邦、州和地方各级的公共卫生官员用于识别和监测具有公共卫生重要性的问题。通过对宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县历史数据进行线性回归分析，预测了这些健康状况指标在2000年的情况。结果表明，阿勒格尼县黑人婴儿死亡率、乳腺癌死亡率、自杀率、肺癌死亡率、获得性免疫缺陷综合征发病率以及麻疹病例数可能无法达到2000年的目标。这些数据将有助于监测实现2000年目标的进展情况，并为美国其他具有相似人口特征的地理区域提供对比数据。
