Age-standardized mortality by state, 1965 and 2004 NOTES: States classified into quintiles. Darker shades represent higher death rates. Death rates are standardized using year 2000 age structure. SOURCE: Author’s calculations from National Center for Health Statistics Multiple Cause-of-Death public-use files 1965 and 2004.

Diverging trends in all-cause mortality by sex at ages 50 and above in five southern states and five other states, 1965–2004 NOTES: Age-standardized all-cause death rates (ASDR) by state standardized to US age structure in 2000. States are labeled according to their level of mortality in 2004. SOURCE: Same as Figure 1.

State-division classifications shown in Table 1. SOURCE: Same as Figure 1.
