Rates of morbidity, mortality, and emergency hospitalizations can be reduced if community residents access <br />services such as health screenings, routine tests, and vaccinations. Prevention indicators can call attention to <br />a lack of access or knowledge regarding one or more health issues and can inform program interventions. <br />State Center for Health Statistics - 2018 County Health Data Book <br />Leading Causes of Death <br />*Unazi fisted Death Rares Per 100" ftPulation <br />Cabarrus <br />North Carolina <br />Fetal Death Rate per 1,000 Deliveries <br />7.8 <br />6.9 <br />Neonatal (<28 days) Death Rate per 1,00 Live Births <br />4.0 <br />4.9 <br />Post -neonatal (28 days - 1 year) Death Rater per 1,000 Live Births <br />1.8 <br />2.3 <br />Infant Death Rater per 1,000 Live Births <br />5.7 <br />7.2 <br />Unadjusted Child (0-17) Death Rate per 100,000 population <br />43.9 <br />58.1 <br />Unintentional Poisoning Mortality Rate per 100,000 <br />13.8 <br />13.7 <br />State Center for Health Statistics - 2018 County Health Data Book <br />Leading Causes of Death <br />*Unazi fisted Death Rares Per 100" ftPulation <br />Cabarrus <br />North Carolina <br />Total Deaths -All Causes <br />800.8 <br />781.8 <br />Cancer <br />162.1 <br />166.5 <br />Disease of Heart <br />154.9 <br />161.3 <br />Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases <br />50.3 <br />45.6 <br />Alzheimer's Disease <br />45.6 <br />31.9 <br />Cerebrovascular Disease <br />44.8 <br />43.1 <br />Unintentional Injuries *Excluding Molcr vehicle <br />37.1 <br />31.9 <br />Pneumonia and Influenza <br />23.8 <br />17.8 <br />Diabetes Mellitus <br />21.3 <br />23.0 <br />Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome and Nephrosis <br />16.0 <br />16.4 <br />Suicide <br />13.4 <br />12.9 <br />2016 State of North Carolina and <br />2014-2016 County Life Expectancy at Birth <br />Life Expectancy <br />Age <br />North Carolina <br />77.4 <br />Cabarrus <br />78.5 <br />Rowan <br />75.3 <br />Stanly <br />76.3 <br />Union <br />79.5 <br />Iredell <br />77.6 <br />Mecklenburg <br />80.2 <br />A new diagnostic coding system (ICD- <br />10CM) was implemented in October <br />of 2015. The new coding system is not <br />comparable to the ICD-9CM coding <br />criteria used previously, meaning that <br />previous mortality and morbidity data <br />cannot be compared to current data <br />for trend identification. <br />With the continually growing aging <br />population, we have seen a spike in <br />the rate of Alzheimer's Disease <br />associated deaths. In 2016, the rate of <br />death associated with Alzheimer's <br />disease was 36.2 per 100,000 <br />population. In just two years, that rate <br />has jumped drastically to 45.6. <br />Life expectancy is often used to gauge the overall <br />health of a community. Shifts in life expectancy are <br />often used to describe trends in mortality. Life <br />expectancy represents the average number of <br />additional years that someone at a given age would be <br />expected to live if he/she were to experience <br />throughout life the age-specific risk of death observed <br />in a specified period of time. <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />
