In the United States in 2019, the death rate was highest among those aged 85 and over, with about 14,230 men and 12,666 women per 100,000 of the population passing away. For all ages, the death rate was at 911.7 per 100,000 of the population for males, and 829 per 100,000 of the population for women.
The death rate
Death rates generally are counted as the number of deaths per 1,000 or 100,000 of the population and include both deaths of natural and unnatural causes. The death rate in the United States has pretty much held steady since 1990. While the birth rate in the United States has been decreasing, it is currently higher than the death rate.
This statistic shows the distribution of the 10 leading causes of death among men in the United States in 2019. In that year, the most significant cause of death among men was heart disease, which contributed to 24.3 percent of deaths, whereas incidences of suicide contributed to 2.5 percent of deaths.
