^*Mortality rate calculated per 100 000 population in the age group.

^†Overall percent change computed as follows: [(mortality rate in 2006–mortality rate in 1999)/(mortality rate in 1999)]×100.

^‡Average annual percent change computed from weighted least squares model regressing natural log of the mortality rate on the year of death.

^§P for weighted least squares model regressing natural log of the mortality rate on the year of death.

^∥Mortality rates for “all ages” are age standardized. All other mortality rates are age specific.

¶ Infant mortality rate calculated per 100 000 live births.
