1 Underlying cause of death was coded according to the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases. See Appendix II, Cause of
death; Table IV.
2 Starting with 2011 data, the rules for selecting Renal failure as the underlying cause of death were changed, affecting the number of deaths in the
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis and Diabetes categories. These changes directly affect deaths with mention of Renal failure and
other associated conditions, such as Diabetes mellitus with renal complications. The result is a decrease in the number of deaths for Nephritis,
nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis and an increase in the number of deaths for Diabetes mellitus. Therefore, trend data for these two causes
of death should be interpreted with caution. For more information, see Technical Notes in Deaths: Preliminary data for 2011, available from:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_06.pdf.
NOTES: Death rates for 2003–2009 were calculated using intercensal population estimates based on the 2000 and 2010 censuses. For 2010, population
estimates were based on bridged-race April 1 census counts. Rates for 2011 and beyond were computed using 2010-based postcensal estimates. See
Appendix I, Population Census and Population Estimates. Due to space limitations, the six leading causes of death are graphed in Figure 20.
