Site Map FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2001 Contact: CDC/NCHS Press Office LIFE EXPECTANCY HITS NEW HIGH IN 2000; MORTALITY DECLINES FOR SEVERAL LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH Life expectancy for the U.S. population reached a record high of 76.9 years in 2000 as mortality declined for several leading causes of death, according to preliminary figures from a report released today by HHS' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "Americans on average are living longer than ever before, and much of this is due to the progress we've made in fighting diseases that account for a majority of deaths in the country," HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said. "But we can do even more by eating right, exercising regularly and taking other simple steps to promote good health and prevent serious illness and disease." The estimates are featured in a new CDC report, "Deaths: Preliminary Data for 2000," an analysis of over 85 percent of the death certificates recorded in the United States for 2000. The report shows that age-adjusted death rates continued to fall for heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in the U.S. that account for more than half of all deaths in the country each year. Mortality from heart disease has declined steadily since 1950, while cancer mortality has been on the decline since 1990. Age-adjusted death rates also fell for other leading causes of death, including: homicide, suicide, accidents or "unintentional injuries," stroke, diabetes, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.

Remediation CONSUMERS- BUSINESS: Recycling Composting WaterTreatment Health Issues FLUORIDES, HYDROGEN FLUORIDE, AND FLUORINE A Toxicological Profile by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) TP-91/17, Page 112, Sec. 2.7 (Health Impacts), April 1993 POPULATIONS THAT ARE UNUSUALLY SUSCEPTIBLE Existing data indicate that subsets of the population may be unusually susceptible to the toxic effects of fluoride and its compounds. These populations include the elderly, people with deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, and/or vitamin C, and people with cardiovascular and kidney problems. Some people with cardiovascular problems may be at increased risk of fluoride toxicity. Fluoride inhibits glycolysis by inhibiting enolase (Guminska and Sterkowicz 1975; Peters et al. 1964). It also inhibits energy metabolism through the tricarboxylic acid cycle by blocking the entry of pyruvate and fatty acids and by inhibiting succinic dehydrogenase (Slater and Bonner 1952). There is evidence that daily doses of 34 mg fluoride (0.48 mg/kg/day) increases the risk of nonvertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (Riggs et al. 1990). Postmenopausal women (Danielson et al. 1992; Sowers et al. 1991) and elderly men (Danielson et al. 1992) in fluoridated communities may also be at increased risk of fractures.
