This edition of the Leading Causes of Death in Chicago has two major changes from the 2008 version. We have converted from age- adjusted to actual (crude) mortality rates for ten year trend comparisons. To reflect the changing demographics of Chicago’s Hispanic population, we have added the Central American population as a study group and dropped reporting for the Cuban population. The report begins with data on the 2006 leading causes of death for Chicago residents presented for different ethnic groups and sex by detailed age categories, and for different age groups by ethnicity categories. The report concludes with ten year comparisons of mortality rates for 2006 leading causes and all- cause death by ethnicity and sex. It is hoped that this report will prove helpful in developing effective public health interventions in Chicago. Questions, comments or suggestions for improving future editions are welcome.
