2C.AGE-SPECIFICMORTALITY
Young adultmortality (ages 20-44 years)
In 2013, 462 deaths of young
adults were attributed to
accidental poisoning (
Table
2C-18
), compared to 398
deaths in 2012. The mortality
rate for accidental poisoning
among
young
adults
(21.3/100,000) for the fifth
year exceeded the mortality
rate for motor vehicle-related
injuries (13.3/100,000;
Figure
2C-15
). In the 20-44 year age
group, 407 of the 462
accidental poisoning were due
to drug overdose (ICD10 X40-
44) and 46 were due to alcohol
poisoning (ICD10 X45).

In 2013, fewer Arizonans 20-
44 years old died from the
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) disease
(29) than from
morbid obesity
(36 deaths;
Table2C-18
).
Of the 90 deaths from
HIV
disease
in 2013, 32.2 percent
occurred among Arizonans 20-
44 years old (
Table 2C-27
).
Males accounted for 93.1
percent of young adult deaths
from
HIV disease
in 2013
(
Table2C-18
).
The mortality rate for HIV
disease among young male
adults slightly decreased from
2.8/100,000 in 2012 to
2.4/100,000 in 2013.
