In accordance with Article 2, from the Presidential Decree 3266 of November, 29, 1999, IBGE has published, annually, the Complete Life Tables, relative to the previous year, on the first working day of December each year.

The Life Table calculated for year 2000 includes population data from the 2000 Population Census 2000, the infant mortality rate based on information from the same event and the death statistics from the Civil Register relative to the three-year period, 1999 - 2001.
