I was reading this earlier and I thought you guys might find it interesting and surprising. read number 2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Journal of the American Medical Association, Jan. 19, 2005, Vol. 293, No. 3, p. 298, reported on the leading causes of death in the United States: 1. Tobacco (435,000 deaths; 18.1% of total US deaths) 2. Poor diet and physical inactivity (400,000 deaths; 16.6%) 3. Alcohol consumption (85,000 deaths; 3.5%) (Note: 16,653 deaths from alcohol-related vehicle crashes are included in both Alcohol consumption above and Motor vehicle crashes below.) 4. Microbial agents (75,000) 5. Toxic agents (55,000) 6. Motor vehicle crashes (43,000)(see Note above) 7. Incidents involving firearms (29,000) 8. Sexual behaviors (STDs, hepatitis B and C, and cervical cancer) (20,000) 9. Illicit use of drugs (17,000) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this should give you enough reason to get up and do something, your life depends on it.
Do they have stats on: - Falling down open man-holes - attacks by small animals such as squirrels - Choking on pop-corn inhaled while watching a movie and laughing - Falling anvils If they don't then I'm not sure I would regard their report as exhaustive or conclusive.

It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

It certainly is, but the survey question was not do we die or not, it was how we die, and there are lots of differences between the ways we die, many of them influenced, to a degree, by lifestyle.

I find it to be rather suspicious that almost all of the causes listed have to do with abuse of certain substances (alcohol, drugs). Just look at the domain name and the addiction rehabilitation ads and you notice what I'm trying to say. After a bit of googling I found this: http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/leadcaus10.html[^]. Causes listed here are seem more acurate (I mean, we know that smoking kills, but #1 leading cause of death ? - come on now). Also this lists heart disases as #1 reason, which is more likely. This is the leading cause of death in my country too (together with other cardiovascular diseases). P.S.: 72,3% of all statistics are made up on the spot :)

Those causes of death would fall under these ICD-10 codes: 1. W17 (Other fall from one level to another) 2. W55 (Bitten or struck by other mammals) 3. W79 (Inhalation and ingestion of food causing obstruction of respiratory tract) 4. W20 (Struck by thrown, projected or falling object) CDC aggregates data from all reported deaths in the United States. The original death certificates contain the specific details such as whether the falling object was an anvil or a piano and if the mammal was a squirrel or a ferret. Fatal bites from rats and dogs are most common. They are tracked by their own codes. You can search 1999 - 2004 data online at: Centers for Disease Control Compressed Mortality Database[^]
