Leading Causes of Death in Nonmetropolitan and Metropolitan Areas — United States, 1999–2014 Ernest Moy, MD; Macarena C. Garcia, DrPH; Brigham Bastian; et al. MMWR Surveill Summ 2017;66:1–8
To examine differences for the five leading causes of death in nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas in the United States, CDC analyzed mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System. This report presents trends in age-adjusted death rates among persons of all ages during 1999–2014 and the number of potentially excess deaths among persons aged <80 years during 2010–2014. Across the United States, nonmetropolitan areas experienced higher age-adjusted death rates than metropolitan areas. The percentages of potentially excess deaths among persons aged <80 years from the five leading causes were higher in nonmetropolitan areas than in metropolitan areas.
