Cause of Death (NOMS 2020-2023) Charts
National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS)

These charts include age-adjusted Proportionate Mortality Ratios (PMRs) and age-adjusted Rates. PMRs are proportion of deaths due to a specific cause for workers in one industry/occupation group divided by the proportion of deaths due to that cause in all workers multiplied by 100. Rates are the number of deaths in an industry/occupation group divided by the population of people working in that industry/occupation multiplied by 100,000. The denominator data used to calculate the rates are from the Current Population Survey You can chart Cause of Death groupings by industry/occupation for both PMRs and Rates. PMRs are also available by age, sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity although there may be few deaths in some categories. Data include all decedents 18-90 years of age for 2020 (46 states and NYC), 2021 (49 states and NYC), and 2022 and after (50 states and the District of Columbia), who had usual industry and/or occupation information available on their death certificate. Data and documentation used in these charts are from the Public Use Data available from the NCHS Vital Statistics Data website.

Chart and Query Options



If you see this note, "No records were found that match the selected chart options," it means that no records match the criteria entered. PMRs and rates with fewer than 10 deaths in an industry/ occupation group who died of specific outcome, or the relative width of the confidence interval is greater than 160, are not displayed.

a.
Age-adjusted PMR is the proportion of deaths due to a specific cause for workers in one occupation (industry) group divided by the proportion of deaths due to that cause in all workers multiplied by 100, adjusted by age group (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75-90).
b.
aPMR LCL = Age-adjusted Lower Confidence Limit.
c.
aPMR UCL = Age-adjusted Upper Confidence Limit.
N/A.
Data not displayed, likely due to insufficient sample size.

National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS)

NIOSH National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS) is a partnership between NIOSH, NCHS and vital statistics jurisdictions that provides periodic surveillance of work-related mortality among US workers. The program protects workers by evaluating the size and extent of disease mortality in association with occupation and industry settings. NOMS does this by providing data to identify new risks or confirm existing risks for occupational disease mortality that can point to opportunities for prevention and further study.
