Data for this article, as in previous reports1, are drawn principally from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report2,6, published by the National Center for Health Statistics. The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook7 and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Report8, both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. All the U.S. data for 1977 are estimates by place of occurrence based on a 10% sample of material received in state offices between two dates, one month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimate is very close to the subsequent final figures.

Data for this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).2-6 The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook7 and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Reports,8 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, which has also been kind enough to provide directly more recent data. Except for mortality data by cause and age, which are based on a 10% sample, all the US data for 1984 are estimates by place of occurrence, based upon a count of certificates received in state offices between two dates, 1 month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimates, with few exceptions, are close to the subsequent final figures. There are, however, considerable variations in some states, particularly in comparing data by place of occurrence and place of residence. State information should be interpreted cautiously.

National data for this article, as in previous reports,1 are drawn principally from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report,2,3 published by the National Center for Health Statistics. The international data come chiefly from the United Nations Demographic Yearbook4 and the quarterly, Population and Vital Statistics,5 both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. These are official government reports, but the provisional data sometimes omit significant factors related to the World Health Organization definition of a live birth and an infant death. In such instances, data from World Health Organization Reports6 or direct communications from ministries of health7 have been substituted.

Births in 1971 were lower than in 1970 (Table I); the birth rate turned down again; deaths were about the same; and the natural increase in population, 1,638,000 or 0.8%, was the lowest in several years. Infant mortality continued to drop slowly, marriages were down slightly, and divorces were up slightly. Data for this article, as in previous reports, are drawn principally from two sources: the Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Demographic Yearbook and the monthly quarterly, Population and Vital Statistics, published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. The limitations on the data used are explained in these reports and do not differ from previous years.
