This report presents standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for selected characteristics based on matching individual records from Census Bureau samples for 967368 persons to the National Death Index for the years 1979 1980 and 1981. SMRs are shown in a series of tables in which each characteristic of interest is studied by age sex and race for the leading causes of death. Selected study findings follow. 1) For all causes of death black men have higher SMRs than white men at ages 0-74 but not at ages 75+. 2) Black women have higher SMRs than white women for all causes of death of ages 0-64 and are at about the same risk of death at ages 65+. 3) For all causes of death for white men the Pacific states have the lowest SMR and the Middle Atlantic states the highest. 4) For black males 0-64 the all-cause mortality ratios are lowest for those living in a standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) but outside the central city. 5) For white males 0-64 the SMR from chronic obstruction pulmonary disease is 3 times as high for those not living in an SMSA as compared to those living in an SMSA but outside the central city. 6) Foreign-born men have lower all-cause mortality ratios than men born in the US. 7) For women there is no essential difference in the all-cause mortality ratios for those born outside or inside the US. 8) For all ages Hispanic men have lower all-cause mortality ratios than non-Hispanic men. 8) There were no deaths observed from lung cancer among Mexican men although nearly 9 deaths were expected. 9) For white men 25-64 all-cause mortality levels tend to decrease with increasing education. The SMRs range from a high of 145 for those with 5-7 years of education to 55 for those with 4+ years of college. 10) Mortality rations from all causes of death in white men 25-64 with family incomes <$5000/year are more than 3 times the ratios in men with incomes of $50000+/year. 11) White men and women 25-64 who live alone have all-cause mortality ratios higher than the group as a whole. 12) The all-cause mortality ratios for those 25-64 and separated are higher than for those who are married. 13) Unemployed white males 25-64 have an SMR about 50% higher than those employed. 14) In white men 25-64 heart disease mortality is highest among clerical workers and lowest among professional or technical workers. 15) For black men 25-64 the construction industry has the highest mortality from all causes.
