Top Ten Causes Of Death Globally by ojiezaky(m): 2:08pm On Jun 20, 2018 |
Nearly 57 million died worldwide in 2016, and more than half of them were due to the top 10 causes, according to an analysis released by the World Health Organisation. Heart disease and stroke are the biggest killers. Between them, both diseases caused a combined 15.2m deaths in 2016. They have kept a record for being leading causes of deaths around the world in the last 15 years. Pulmonary diseases caused 3million deaths in the period, and lung cancers claimed 1.7m lives. Diabetes killed 1.6m people, up from less than 1m in 2000.  Dementia stepped in as the 5th leading cause of death, up from 14 position in 2000. Number of deaths due to dementia doubled in the period. Infections in the respiratory tract remained the most deadly communicable disease, claiming 3m lives. Diarrhoeal diseases deaths decreased by almost 1m between 2000 and 2016 but still killed 1.4m that year. Tuberculosis deaths have reduced but the disease remains among the top 10 killers, accounting for 1.3m lives. Road injuries killed 1.4 million people. Around three in every four killed in road injuries were men and boys. Deaths by economic groups. More than half of all deaths in low-income countries in 2016 were caused by the so-called “Group I” conditions, which include communicable diseases, maternal causes, conditions arising during pregnancy and childbirth, and nutritional deficiencies. By contrast, less than 7% of deaths in high-income countries were due to such causes. http://medfort.com.ng/top-ten-causes-of-death-globally/
