Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System respondents were classified as having an underlying chronic condition if they answered “yes” to having any of the following conditions (question number): depression (C06.09); HBP (C04.01); high cholesterol (C05.01); asthma (C06.04 and C06.05); arthritis (C07.01); other (C06.01, C06.02, C06.03, C06.06, C06.07, C06.08, C06.10, and C06.11).

Much of the gradual decline in the number of deaths from 1985 and 2011 has been driven by people living longer. Since 2011, as a larger number of people reach older ages there has consequently been a general increase in the number of deaths, thus contributing to the decline in natural change.
