— Because there was no information available on deaths by sex for 1910–1913 and 1917, age-adjusted death rates for males and females based on the year 2000 standard population were not calculated for those years.
1 Rates per 100,000 population computed by the direct standardization method, using the Year 2000 total population of the United States as the standard age distribution.
2 Deaths based on a 50-percent sample.
3 Reporting States increased from 10 States and the District of Columbia in 1900 to the entire contiguous United States in 1933.
