摘要
The nonmetropolitan mortality penalty results in an estimated 40201 excessive US deaths per year, deaths that would not occur if nonmetropolitan and metropolitan residents died at the same rate. We explored the underlying causes of the nonmetropolitan mortality penalty by examining variation in cause of death. Declines in heart disease and cancer death rates in metropolitan areas drive the nonmetropolitan mortality penalty. Future work should explore why the top causes of death are higher in nonmetropolitan areas than they are in metropolitan areas. (Am J Public Health. 2010;100:1417-1419. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2009.174185)
