INTRODUCTION
The statistics in this report have been assembled by the National
Center for Health Statistics, Public Health Service, to answer questions
frequently asked about vital and health statistics for the United States.
Information on births, deaths, marriages, divorces, and life expect-
ancy is based on vital data gathered by the Center's Division of Vital
Statistics.
Estimates for selected health conditions, chronic conditions,
persons injured, and days of bed disability came from the Division of
Health Interview Statistics.
Health personnel data were obtained from the Division of Health
Resources Statistics.
Reported cases of communicable diseases came from the Center
for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia.
Vital statistics shown in this report include only events occurring
within a specified area. Beginning with 1933, all data cover events
occurring within the entire conterminous (48) United States. Beginning
with 1959, the figures include Alaska, and starting with 1960, they in-
clude Hawaii. For the years prior to 1933, data for marriages, divorces,
and births, when these are shown as having been adjusted for underregis-
tration, are for the entire United States. Data for registered births and
deaths, prior to 1933, are for expanding groups of registration States.
Fetal deaths are excluded from birth and death statistics. Fetal
death figures include only fetal deaths for which the period of gestation
was given as 20 weeks or more or was not stated.
Numbers shown as estimated in certain tables are based on a sample
of incomplete data. Numbers shown as provisional are based on figures
reported on a monthly bcisis and are subject to revision in final tabu-
lations,
Rates are based on population figures from the Bureau of the Census.
Birth and divorce rates for 1941-46 are based on population including
the Armed Forces abroad; other rates are based on total population
residing in the area. For years ending in a zero, rates are based on
the enumerated population as indicated in table 1. For all other years,
rates are based on estimated midyear population.

The next table shows the number of deaths
and death rates for the leading causes of death in
1967 and death rates for these causes in 1900.
Figures for the 2 years show gross changes in
mortality, but they are not exactly comparable in
many respects. The rates for 1900 are based on
deaths in 10 States and the District of Columbia,
while the figures for 1967 are for the entire United
States. New discoveries in medicine and new diag-
nostic facilities have produced an improvement in
reporting causes of death. Causes of death which
were not recognized as disease entities in 1900 are
relatively frequent in 1967, The classification of
causes of death is revised every decade to kt
abreast of new information.
For 1967 deaths were classified accordinj
the Seventh Revision of the International Lists
Diseases and Causes of Death, and for 1900, i
cording to the First Revision. Also, beginnings
1949, the underlying cause of death indicated
the physician is generally the cause used in s
tistical tabulation. In earlier years, a fixed sei
priorities was used to select the cause of death
be tabulated when more than one cause was 3
ported.

The Division of Health Interview Statistics
obtains data on a wide variety of health topics.
These data are reported from household inter-
views conducted during each year in 42,000 house-
holds consisting of about 134,000 persons. Data in
tables 26 and 27 are based on interviews during
1968 while data in table 28 are annual averages
based on data collected during the period July1965-June 1967. The data refer to the civilian,
noninstitutional population of the United States.
During July 1965-June 1967 this population
averaged 191,537,000 persons ofwhom 42,875,000were 6-16 years of age and 124,616,000 were 17
years or older. In 1968 this population averaged

The Division of Health Interview Statistics
obtains data on chronic conditions reported tohave
caused or contributed to limitation of activities.
The estimates shown below include conditions
limiting major activities such as working, keeping
house, and going to school as well as those caus-
ing lesser limitation not related to major activity.
Excluded are conditions causing limitation among
persons in resident institutions, sanitariums,chronic disease hospitals, nursing homes, and
homes for the aged,
Additional data about conditions causing limi-
tation of activities are shown in "Chronic Con-ditions Causing Activity Limitation" (Vital andHealth Statistics, PHS Pub. No. 1,000, Series 10,
