| 1994 data are from the
NJ single cause of death file. 1999 data are from the NCHS multiple
cause of death file. |
| 1994 deaths were classified
by ICD-9 and have been comparability-modified. See Table
A for preliminary comparability ratios. |
| Age-adjusted rates are
computed based on the total population and the 2000 standard, except
for cancer of the prostate for which the rate is based on the male
population and cancers of the uteri and ovary for which the rate
is based on the female population. |
| ** Number is too small
to calculate a reliable rate. |
-- No comparable category
in ICD-9 |
