Rate per 100,000 race/gender/age-specific population. 2003 census estimates were used for the calculation of age-specific rates.
1
Death rates for “Under 1 Year” (based on population estimates) differ from Infant Mortality Rates (based on live births)
**** In cell indicates count is greater than 0 and less than 5.
Note: Rates were not calculated for records with age missing as there is no denominator with which to calculate the rate.
The rates for “Other” were not calculated due to low frequency and unreliability of race coding, which create instability.
Mortality by Selected Causes of Death: Crude and Age-Adjusted Rates
Table 5.11 on the following pages describes deaths to Louisiana residents in 2003 from a number of selected causes. For each
of the selected causes of death, the table includes counts for each gender/race/age group, and crude and age-adjusted death
rates for all groups combined.
