Death rates among middle-aged whites in North Carolina are higher than ever before, and suicide and liver disease are major contributors, according to a study out of East Carolina University.

The study, published in North Carolina Medical Journal, says the mortality rate for white people ages 45-54 from 2000 to 2013 increased by 5.9 percent. In 11 of those 13 years, the rate was higher than the base rate established in 2000.

“A large portion of the increase in mortality is attributed to ‘deaths of despair’ – suicide, liver disease, drug overdose and behaviors that lead to these deaths,” ECU professor emeritus Dr. Chris Mansfield told university news services.



Increases in obesity and lack of health insurance were other risk factors identified.
