Using data from the National Vital Statistics System and the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, this study examined mortality trends and differentials from 1950 through 1993 among US adolescents and young adults according to sex, race/ethnicity, education, family income, marital status, and cause of dealth. No appreciable reduction in youth mortality has occurred, especially among men. Declines in youth mortality from accidents have been nearly ofset by increases in death rates from homicide, suicide, and firearm injuries. American Indians, Blacks, males, and those with least education and income were at increased risk of both overall and injury-specific youth mortality.
本研究利用国家生命统计系统和全国纵向死亡率研究的数据,调查了1950年至1993年间美国青少年和青年按性别、种族/族裔、教育程度、家庭收入、婚姻状况和死因划分的死亡率趋势及差异。青少年死亡率并未出现明显下降,尤其是男性。意外事故导致的青少年死亡率下降几乎被杀人、自杀和枪支伤害死亡率的上升所抵消。美国印第安人、黑人、男性以及受教育程度和收入最低的人群,在总体青少年死亡率和特定伤害死亡率方面的风险都有所增加。
