Vital Statistics of the United States: Births, Life Expectancy, Deaths,
and Selected Health Data brings together a comprehensive collection of
birth, mortality, health, and marriage and divorce data into a single
volume. It provides a wealth of information compiled by the National
Center for Health Statistics and other government agencies. Vital
Statistics contains over 225 tables and is divided into four parts:
Births, Mortality, Health, and Marriage and Divorce. Charts and graphs,
available at applicable points in each chapter, illustrate some of the
most vital trends in the data. In addition, updated definitions reflect
the latest federal parameters for information about births, mortality,
health, and marriages. New COVID-19 data is woven into each section
where appropriate. Some of the new tables include data on pregnant women
with COVID-19, historical daily case trends, and demographic
characteristics of people receiving the vaccine.
