Provisional Data From the National Center for Health Statistics Vol. 33, No. 13 ● September 26, 1985

Annual Summary of Births, Marriages, Divorces,and Deaths: United States, 1984

The provisional number of live births and the birth rate per1,000 population for 1984 were higher than the comparable

figures for 1983. The increase in the number of births broughtthe annual total of births to the highest level observed since1970, The increase in the birth rate reversed the decline re-corded during the previous year.

The number of marriages also increased in 1984 andreached a new national record. However, because the popu-lation increased at about the same pace, the marriage rate per

1,000 population remained at the level reported in 1983.The number of divorces and the divorce rate per 1,000

population for 1984 were lower than the comparable figures for1983. The divorce rate for 1984 was lower than it had been

since 1975.The provisional number of deaths increased in 1984, re-

flecting the continued increase in the size of the population,

especially at 65 years of age and over. The age-adjusted deathrate and life expectancy at birth remained at about the samelevels as in 1983. However, the jnfant mortality rate continuedto decline in 1984 to the lowest level ever recorded in the

United States. Age-adjusted death rates declined in 1984 for

Diseases of heart, Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, andAtherosclerosis. Rates increased for Pneumonia and influenzaand for Septicemia.

Births

An estimated 3,697,000 babies were born in the UnitedStates during 1984, a 2-percent increase over the provisionalestimate for 1983 (3,6 14,000). The birth rate was 15.7 live

births per 1,000 population, 1 percent above the rate for 1983(15.5). The fertility rate was 66.0 live births per 1,000 womenaged 15–44 years, 1 percent higher than the estimated fertilityrate for 1983 (65.4). (See tables A and B and figure 1.)

The 2-percent increase in the number of births broughtthe annual total to the highest level observed since 1970(3,73 1,386). The l-percent increases in the birth and fertilityrates in 1984 reversed the declines measured for these rates

during the previous year.The seasonally adjusted monthly birth and fertility rates in

1984 were higher in 8 months and lower in 4 months of the”

year than the rates in 1983 (table C). There was no consistent

pattern in the seasonally adjusted rates except that the rateswere higher for each of the last 4 months of 1984 than for thesame months of 1983.

Changes in the annual number of births are affected mainly

by two factors: trends in age-specific birth rates and changes inthe number of women in the childbearing ages. The 2-percentincrease in the number of births coupled with the l-percent rise

in the fertility rate indicate that age-specific birth rates increasedfor at least some age-of-mother groups between 1983 and

1984. The total number of women in the childbearing agesincreased as well, but only by 1 percent overal~ changes in thenumber of women at various ages were not uniform. The num-

ber of teenagers 15–19 years of age declined in 1984 by 3percent, while the number of women in their early twenties fell1 percent. These are the ages at which nearly half of all birthsoccur annually in the United States. Increases of 1 to 4 percent

were measured for age groups 25–29 through 40–44 years,with the largest increases observed for women aged 35–3 9 and40–44 years (4 percent). Rates of childbearing for women inthe age groups 35–44 years, however, tend to be very low.

According to projections prepared by the U.S. Bureau ofthe Census, the number of women in the childbearing ages willincrease again by about 1 percent between 1984 and 1985 andthen stabilize through the late 1980’s.1 The number of women

aged 15–24 years will continue to decline, however, as thoseborn during the low birth years of the early to mid 1970’s reachthe childbearing ages. During the next several years, therefore,increases in the number of births will require increases in the

birth rates for at least some age groups.Provisional data by place of occurrence indicate that there

were increases in the number of births between 1983 and 1984of 1–2 percent in two geographic divisions (Middle Atlantic

and South Atlantic) and 5–9 percent in two divisions (WestSouth Central and Pacific). There were declines of up to 2

percent in the remaining five divisions. Birth rates per 1,000

population increased by 1–7 percent in three divisions (MiddleAtlantic, West South Central, and Pacific), remained level intwo divisions (East North Central and South Atlantic), and

declined 1–3 percent in the remaining four divisions.

Increases and declines in the number of births by Statewere nearly evenly split, with increases in 26 States and theDistrict of Columbia and declines in 24 States. The birth rate

increased in 20 States and the District of Columbia and de-

clined in 25 States. There was no change in the rate for fiveStates.

Natural increase

During 1984 an estimated 1,650,000 persons were addedto the population as a result of natural increase, the excess of

births over deaths. The rate of natural increase was 7.0 personsper 1,000 population, 1 percent above the 1983 rate of 6.9.This increase was due to the rise in the birth rate.

Marriages

The marriage rate was 10.5 per 1,000 population in 1984for the second consecutive year (table A). This rate, recordedsince 1867, has varied between a high of 16.4 in 1946 and alow of 7.9 in the depression year of 1932. Final data for 1980through 1982 show that the marriage rate was stable at 10.6per 1,000 population. Provisional data showed a slight decline

to 10.5 in 1983 and a leveling off in 1984 (figure 2).Although the marriage rate per 1,000 population remained

the same in 1984 as in 1983, the number of marriages increased

to 2,487,000, the greatest annual total in U.S. history.Marriages followed a seasonal pattern in 1984 that has

become typical in the United States, lowest in January andhighest in June (tables D and E). The June marriage rate, 15.8

per 1,000 population, was more than twice as high as the Jan-uary rate, 6.4.

Marriage rates vary widely among States. The States withthe lowest rates in 1984 were Pennsylvania (7.8), West Virginia

(7,9), and Connecticut (8.0). States with the highest rates wereNevada (117.9), South Carolina (16.9), Hawaii (14.3), Arkan-sas (13.4), Alaska (13.0), Georgia (13.0), and Texas (13.0).While Alaska, Georgia, and Texas all reported the same pro-visional rate in 1984, this rate represents a substantial rise overthe 1983 rates for Georgia (12.5) and Texas (12.4) but a sharpdrop from the 1983 level for Alaska (14.3).

Divorces

The divorce rate for 1984 was 4.9 per 1,000 population, 8percent below the record high set in 1979 and 1981 (5.3) andlower than it had been since 1975 (table A).

The number of divorces dropped in 1984 (table F). Anestimated 1,155,000 couples divorced, 2 percent fewer thanthe number in 1983 and 58,000(5 percent) fewer than the final

total reported for 1981 when the national divorce total reacheda historic high of 1,213,000.

Divorce rates vary geographically, being generally lowestin the Middle Atlantic and New England Divisions and highest

in the West South Central and Mountain Divisions. For ex-ample, the rate in Massachusetts (2.9) is half as high as therate in Colorado (5.8) and the rates in New York and Penn-

sylvania (3.4) are less than half as high as rates in Nevada

(13.7), Oklahoma (7.3), and Wyoming (7.2).Among States from which provisional data were available

in 1984, the highest divorce rates were reported by Nevada

(13.7); Alaska (7.8); Oklahoma (7.3); Wyoming (7.2); Florida

Marriage and divorce rates tend to vary together, with bothrates relatively high or both rates relatively low for any par-

visional death rate for 1984 was 866.8 deaths per 100,000

titular State. In general, the divorce rate is less than half aspopulation, approximately 1 percent higher than the provi-

high as the marriage rate. In 1984, however, 17 States hadsional rate for 1983 (858.9). The record number of deaths in1984 reflects ageneral increase in the size ofthe population,

exceptionally high ratios of divorces to marriages: Alabama,Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Mon-

especially at 65 years of age and over. However, as a result of

Temessee, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.the provisional age-adjusted death rate for 1984 was the lowestever recorded in the United States (547,7 deaths per 100,000

Deathspopulation) (figure 3). This rate was about the same as the

better indicators than crude death rates for showing changes inmortality risk over time and between race-sex groups withinthe population.

Unadjusted death rates were somewhat higher for January,March, May, June, August, September, November, and De-

cember 1984 than for the same months in 1983. Rates forApril and October were the same in 1984 as in 1983. For theremaining months of 1984, death rates were lower than for theprevious year (table G).

Expectation of life

Provisional data showed a continued narrowing of the dif-ference in life expectancy at birth between males and females

by race. Among the white population, from 1983 to 1984 lifeexpectancy increased by 0.2 year for males compared with 0.1year for females. Among the black population, life expectancyat birth increased by 0.1 year for males, but decreased 0.3 year

for black females. The expectation of life at birth represents theaverage number of years that a group of infants would be ex-pected to live if, throughout life, they were to experience the

ag~specitic death rates prevailing during the year of their birth.

Death rates by race and sex, and by age

Race and sex dl~erentials—Age-adjusted death rates

reached new lows in 1984 for each race-sex group except blackfemales. White females had the lowest estimated age-adjusteddeath rate (39 1.4 deaths per 100,000 population), followed by

black females (586.2), white males (694.6), and black males(1,016.1). Between 1983 and 1984, age-adjusted death ratesdecreased 1 percent for white males, remained essentially the

same for black males and white females, and increased 3 per-

cent for black females (from 571.5).Age dz~erentials—Between 1983 and 1984, provisional

death rates decreased for persons aged 85 years of age and overand increased for those 75–84 years. Death rates for other age

groups did not change significantly ketween the two succes-sive years (table H).

Major causes of death

The 15 leading causes of death in 1984 accounted for 88percent of all deaths in the United States (table J). The leadingcauses of death for 1979 through 1984 have been the same, butthe order has varied. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and ne-phrosis (the 13th leading cause of death in 1983) moved aheadof Homicide and legal intervention and Certain mn&tions orig-

inating in the perinatal period to become the 1lth leading causein 1984.

For most causes age-adjusted death rates are better indi-cators than crude death rates for showing changes in mortalityrisk over time. Such rates are used to depict trends for 13 of the15 leading causes of death. For the other two leading causes of

death, which occur mainly among infants under 1 year of age(Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period andCongenital anomalies), age-adjusted death rates are not shown,Changes in mortality for these two causes are measured by the

infant mortality rate per 100,000 live births. The infant mor-tality rate for Certain conditions originating in the perinatalperiod for 1984, 505.3 infant deaths per 100,000 live births,was not significantly different from the 1983 rate (5 19,7), Sim-

ilarly, the rate for Congenital anomalies, 228.1, was also notsignificantly different from the 1983 rate, 231.6,

Age-adjusted death rates were lower in 1984 than in 1983for three leading causes: Diseases of heart, Chronic liver disease

and cirrhosis, and Atherosclerosis. Age-adjusted death ratesfor Diseases of heart and Atherosclerosis have generally de-

clined since 1950 and for Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis

since the mid-1970’s (figure 4).

Age-adjusted rates for two leading causes of death in-creased between 1983 and 1984. The age-adjusted rate forPneumonia and influenza increased 9 percent from 11.2 deaths

per 100,000 population in 1983 to 12,2 in 1984; it also in-creased 12 percent for Septicemia, from 3.4 in 1983 to 3,8 in1984. Even though the rates for the broad category Accidentsand adverse effects did not change significantly between the

two years, the rate for Motor vehicle accidents—a componentof the broader category-increased 6 percent between 1983

and 1984, a reversal of the decline observed between 1980 and1983.

For the remaining seven leading causes of death, provis-ional data did not indicate a significant change between 1983and 1984.

Technical notes

Nature and sources of data

All data for 1983 and 1984 in this report are provisional.Data for the United States as a whole refer to events occurringwithin the United States; other data refer to events within thereporting areas shown.

Beginning with 1970, final birth and mortality statisticsexclude data for births and deaths to nonresidents of the UnitedStates. Data for nonresidents are included in provisional datafor 1983 and 1984.

Provisional or estimated figures for births, marriages, di-vorces, and deaths, except data estimated from the CumentMortality Sample, summarize data from monthly reports of thenumbers of birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates re-ceived in registration offices between two dates a month apartregardless of the month or year when the events occurred. De-lay in the receipt of certificates in a registration office mayresult in a low count for a given month, followed by a highcount for the month(s) in which the delayed records are re-ceived. While this occasionally may result in large fluctuationsin State counts for a given event, the effect on provisionalmonthly totals for the United States is usually small. Finalfigures are counts of events occurring in the specified year. Allmortality .figures exclude fetal deaths.

Natality

Monthly estimates of births for the entire United Statesare based on the monthly reports adjusted for observed differ-ences from final monthly figures. State figures are not adjustedin this manner.

Marriages

Monthly estimates of marriages for the entire United Statesare based on the monthly reports adjusted for observed differ-ences from final monthly figures. State figures are not adjustedin this manner. For most States, data represent marriages per-formed. For New Mexico, New York City, and some countiesof Arizona, data are marriage licenses issued.

Begiming with 1978, nonlicensed (confidential) marriagesregistered in California are included in marriage totals and rates.Further discussion of nordicensed marriages is given in the finalmarriage statistics report for 1978.2

Divorces

Provisional divorce dat~ including reported annulments,are shown for the areas reporting divorce data monthly. Divorcefigures for the United States for 1983 and 1984 are estimatedfrom a summary of monthly reporta from 48 States and theDistrict of Columbia. These areas contained over 95 percent ofthe population of the United States as enumerated in 1980.

Mortality

Current mortality sample

Deaths and death rates for 1983 and 1984 by cause, age,race, and sex were estimated from the Current Mortality Sam-ple. The Current Mortality Sample is a 10-percent systematicsample of death certificates received each month in the vitalstatistics offices in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, andthe independent registration area of New York City, The samplefor each of these areas consists of one-tenth of the death certif-icates received in the office between a given date and the samedate of the following month. All death certificates receivedduring the l-month period are sampled regardless of the monthor year in which the death occurred. As a result, the monthlysample is not strictly comparable to a sample on a month-of-occurrence basis. The proportions of death certificates receivedin the samples for each month of 1984 representing deaths oc-curring in the current month and those occurring in othermonths are shown in table I.

Because of the way in which death certificates are proc-essed in California, this State contributes a high proportion ofthe certificates for deaths not occurring in the sample month,For the sample exclusive of California, the percent of the sam-ple deaths occurring in the current month constitutes about 78percent of the total as opposedto71 percent of the entire sam-ple. As for the year of occurrence, 96.81 percent of the 203,693transcripts in the 1984 sample were for deaths occurring in1984 and 3.2 percent for deaths occurring in 1983,

Correctionfor bias and adjustment toprovisional counts—The Current Mortality Sample is selected at a specified timeeach month. Complete information concerning the underlyingcause of death is sometimes not available in the State officeswhen the sample is drawn but is available later when copies ofthe final death certificates are processed.

based on sample counts for certain causes are recurringly biased

●estimates of final counts.The sample data in this report are corrected using rules

and methodology described in the Annual summary for 1978.3

The data for 1984 are adjusted for bias based on the experience

of 3 years—1980, 1981, and 1982. If for a given cause thesample count for these years departs from one-tenth of the finalcount by more than would be expected on the basis of sampling

variability alone, the sample deaths for this cause are correctedby using an adjusted weight. For all causes without an adjustedweight, a weight of 10 is used. The adjusted weights that were

applied to the 1984 sample for all ages and for ages under 1

year are shown in table II.The 1983 cause-of-death data in this report were adjusted

for bias using data for 1979, 1980, and 1981. Therefore, theadjusted weights for 1984 data are not the same as those usedfor 1983.4

Sampling variability—Because the estikates of deathsand death rates presented in this report (with the exception of

total deaths and deaths under 1 year) are based on a sample ofthe death certificates, they are subject to sampling variability.The estimated percent error shown in this report is a measureof the sampling error of the estimated number of deaths (or of

the estimated death rate) expressed as a percent of the estimate.The chances are about two out of three that the percent dif-ference between an estimate and the result of a complete countis less than the percent error shown. The chances are about 19

out of 20 that the percent difference is less than twice the per-cent error.

Two methods are used for estimating percent errors-onefor the ratio estimates for the causes of death corrected for bias

and the other for estimates for the remaining causes of death or

The percent error due to sampling maybe obtained byusing the above formula where Xis the estimated number ofdeaths for a given group. For easy reference, the percent errorsascribable to sampling for estimates based on several levels inthe number of deaths are shown in table III.

Cause-of-death classification

The mortality statistics presented here are compiled inaccordance with World Health Organization re@ations, whichspecify that member nations classfi causes of death in acord-ance with the current revision of the International StatisticalClassification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death.

Causes of death for 1979–84 were classified according tothe Ninth Revision.5 For earlier years causes of death wereclassfled accordbg to the revision then in use. Changes inclass~lcation of causes of death due to these revisions mayresult in discontinuities in cause-of-death trends. Consequently,cause-of-death comparisons between revisions require consid-eration of the comparability ratios rind, where available, esti-mates of their standard errors. For information about compa-rability ratios between the Eighth and Ninth Revisions, seeMonthly Vital Statistics Report, Volume 28, No. 11 Supple-ment.h

For information about comparability ratios between theSeventh and Eighth Revisions, see Vital and Health Statistics,

Series 2, No. 66.7 For a list of other reports on the effects ofrevisions of the intemationrd lists on mortality statistics tab-ulated by cause, see Vital Statistics-Special Reports,Volume 51, No. 4.s

Besides specfiing the classification, the World HealthOrganization regulations outline the form of medical cetilca-tion and the coding procedures to be used. In general, whenmore than one cause of death is reported, the cause designatedby the cetiing physician as the underlying cause of death isthe cause tabulated.

Causes of death for data presented in this publication werecoded by procedures outlined inInstruction Manual. 9

Cause-of-death ranking

Cause-of-death ranking is based on the List of 72 Selected●Causes of Death, adapted from one of the special lists formortality tabulations recommended by the World Health Or-ganization for use with the Ninth Revision of the InternationalClasslYcation of Diseases. Two group titles—Major cardi~vascular diseases and Symptoms, signs, and ill-defined con-ditions-are not ranked. In addition, category titles that beginwith the words “other” and “all other” are not ranked, Theremaining category titles are ranked according to the number ofdeaths for 1984 to determine the leading causes of death.When one of the titles that represents a subtotal is ranked (forexample, Tuberculosis), its component parts (in this case,Tuberculosis of respiratory system and Other tuberculosis) arenot ranked.

Age-adjusted rates

The age-adjusted rates presented in this report were com-puted by the direct method, that is, by applying the age-specificdeath rates for a given cause of death to the standard populationdistributed by age. The total population as enumerated in 1940was selected as the standard. The age-adjusted rates were basedon 10-year age groups. Rates by specified cause for 1983 and1984 were based on the same 10-year age groups except thatthe age group 1–14 years was used instead of 1–4 years and5–14 years. It is important not to compare age-adjusted deathrates with crude rates.

Life tables

U.S. abridged life tables are constructed by reference to astandard life table. 10Life table values for 1980–83 appearingin this publication have been revised using life tables for thedecennial period 1979–8 1 as the standard life tables; there-

fore, these figures may differ from those previously published.

Seasonal adjustment .

The method of seasonal adjustment usedforbirth, fertility,and marriage rates is described in The X–11 Variant of theCensus Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. 11Marriagerates were also adjusted for monthly variation in the specifieddays of the week (Sundays, Mondays, and so forth) becausemarriages are more likely on some days than on others,

Population bases for computing rates

The populations used for computing rates shown in thisreport (fimished by the U.S. Bureau of the Census) representthe population residing in the specified area. Populations for1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, and 1980 were enumerated as ofApril 1; all other populations were estimated as of July 1,

The populations for 1984 were published by the U.S.Bureau of the Census in the Current Population Reports, Seriesp-25+lZ,13

Infant and maternal mortality rates are based on live births.For an explanation of the method used in computing infantmortality rates adjusted for changing numbers of births, seeVital Statistics—Special Reports, Volume 19, No, 21,14
