PIP: An abbreviated life table for Mexico is presented, based on findings of the 1990 census and deaths registered around 1990. The estimated life expectancy at birth in 1990 of 69.99 years was 3.5 years higher than the corresponding estimate based on the 1980 census. The gain in life expectancy averaged 3 years for ages 1-20 years, 2 years for ages 30-40 years, and 1-1.5 years for ages 45-65. The principal causes of general mortality were heart disease, accidents, malignant tumors, infectious intestinal diseases, and diabetes mellitus. The 5 principal causes of infant mortality were disorders arising in the perinatal period, infectious intestinal disorders, pneumonia and influenza, congenital anomalies, and nutritional deficiency disorders. Gains in life expectancy during the 1980s were significant because of the decline in infant mortality, but infant mortality levels remain high compared to those of other countries. Differentials in infant mortality rates in different states were significant, with 1990 rates ranging from 70/1000 in Oaxaca to 30 in the Federal District. The differentials in infant mortality rates were reflected in life expectancies. In the Federal District and the states of Nuevo Leon, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas, life expectancy exceeded the national average by 2-5 years. The proportion of deaths in the earliest age group that were not reported declined at the national level from around 20% in 1980 to around 10% in 1990. Census-based infant mortality estimates for 1990 were more reliable than those for 1980.^ieng
