This Bernan Press title fills the gap created when the National Center of Health Statistics ceased publication of its Vital Statistics compendia in 1992. This is an all-in-one resource for key statistics on births, deaths, life expectancy, and marriage and divorce in the U.S. These important data include both current and historical statistics going as far back as 1940, with details by state and metropolitan areas, and comparisons to foreign countries. Tables, graphs, explanatory text, trends and analyses are included.
