What are the trends in death rate?
Understand the Problem
The question asks about the trends in death rate. We need to identify if death rates are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same over time, and what is driving these changes.
Answer
Excess mortality decreased in 2023, but is still higher than in 2019. Preventable injury death rates have decreased since 1903.
In 2023, the excess mortality rate decreased to roughly the midpoint between the levels of 2019 and 2021. The death rate for preventable injuries has decreased by 38% from 1903 to 2023.
