The mortality statistics for 1999 have been released by the Centers for Disease Control on June 26 2001.
Four questions result from that release:
1. Why is one of the 5 leading causes of death now “Chronic lower respiratory disease?”
2. Why was the former leading death category “Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and allied conditions” changed for the 1999 data to now read “Chronic lower respiratory disease?”
3. When is the data for the year 2000 to be released?
4. Is the released data verified by independent sources?
