These observations are applicable for both sexes, for whites & nonwhites, for neonatal & postneonatal deaths, & for both major cause of death groups.

There was a much greater racial differential in the postneonatal mortality rate in that year: it stood at 55.5 per 1,000 live births for whites and 116.0 for nonwhites.

It is thought that physiological factors may be more important in determining the neonatal mortality rate, and environmental factors are more important in determining the postneonatal mortality rate.

Homicide is a surprisingly common form of death in the postneonatal period; a 1986-87 CDC study found that it was the third leading cause of death for white infants and the leading cause of death for black infants contributing 27 percent of all postneonatal deaths.

The racial gap widened thereafter, reaching an almost three-to-one ratio of non-white-to-white postneonatal mortality in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The sex ratio of postneonatal survivorship has actually worsened for white males compared to white females: in 1960 there was a mortality ratio of 1.25 a postneonatal white male death rate of 8.1, and a female rate of 6.5, and by 1991 this had widened to 1.39.
