In this report the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) presents mortality data in greater race detail than has previously been presented for the Asian or Pacific Islander (API) population.
Deaths, estimated death rates, age-adjusted death rates, exploratory life expectancies, and ranking of leading causes are presented for a selected area.
In 1992 a total of 19,478 deaths occurred in the Asian or Pacific Islander population in the seven States examined in this report. Heart disease and cancer were the two leading causes of death for each of the Asian or Pacific Islander subgroups. By age there is striking variation in leading causes among the race groups. Among the API subgroups in these States, age-adjusted death rates are greatest for the Samoan and Hawaiian populations and smallest for the Asian Indian, Korean, and Japanese populations. Life expectancy is lowest for the Hawaiian and Samoan populations.
在本报告中，美国国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）提供的死亡率数据按种族划分的细节程度高于以往针对亚裔或太平洋岛民（API）人群所呈现的情况。
给出了选定区域的死亡人数、估计死亡率、年龄调整死亡率、探索性预期寿命以及主要死因排名。
1992年，本报告所考察的七个州的亚裔或太平洋岛民人群中总共发生了19478例死亡。心脏病和癌症是每个亚裔或太平洋岛民亚组的两大主要死因。按年龄划分，不同种族群体的主要死因存在显著差异。在这些州的API亚组中，萨摩亚人和夏威夷人的年龄调整死亡率最高，而亚裔印度人、韩国人和日本人的年龄调整死亡率最低。夏威夷人和萨摩亚人的预期寿命最低。
