As in previous reports,1 the data for this article are drawn principally from two sources, the Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics2,3 and the Demographic Yearbook, published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations.4 In both instances, those responsible for the publication were kind enough to make the material available before the actual publication date, thus making it possible for this article to published in this December issue of Pediatrics. The limitations on the data used are explained in these reports and do not differ from previous years. All the data for 1970 are provisional and are based upon 10% sample of materials received in state offices between two dates 1 month apart, regardless of when the event occurred.

Data for this article, as in previous reports, are drawn principally from the Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics. The international data come from the Demographic Yearbook and the quarterly Population and Vital Statistics Report, both published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, which has also been kind enough to provide more recent data. Except for mortality data by cause and age, which are based on a 10% sample, all the US data for 1981 are estimates by place of occurrence based upon a count of certificates received in state offices between two dates, one month apart, regardless of when the event occurred. Experience has shown that for the country as a whole the estimate is very close to the subsequent final figures. There are, however, considerable variations in a few of the states, particularly in comparing data by place of occurrence with data by place of residence. State information should be interpreted cautiously.

Births in 1971 were lower than in 1970 (Table I); the birth rate turned down again; deaths were about the same; and the natural increase in population, 1,638,000 or 0.8%, was the lowest in several years. Infant mortality continued to drop slowly, marriages were down slightly, and divorces were up slightly. Data for this article, as in previous reports, are drawn principally from two sources: the Monthly Vital Statistics Report, published by the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Demographic Yearbook and the monthly quarterly, Population and Vital Statistics, published by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. The limitations on the data used are explained in these reports and do not differ from previous years.
