Abstract:

Death rates from heart diseases and cancer have been declining among the general population in the United States for decades while they remain as leading causes. However, the relationship of the changes in death rates to different socioeconomic status (SES) levels have been seldom examined, specially in the later years of the 1900s. We explore this relationship of changing mortality rates and different SES of U.S. residents from 1990 to 2000 by health service area as the geographic unit of analysis. To review the changes in mortality by SES during a decade, authors will examine the rates from five leading causes of death among U.S. residents. They are diseases of the heart, lung cancer, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and accidents. Mortality data and the results of the census of 2000 are obtained from CDC and the U.C. Census Bureau, respectively, and are being processed. A SES will be constructed by principal component analysis applied to a dozen or so socioeconomic variables made available from the 2000 U.S. decennial census. The result will be mapped using ArcGIS.
