Press Release Embargoed Until: Thursday, May 1, 2014, 1:00 PM ET Contact: CDC Media Relations (404) 639-3286 Up to 40 percent of annual deaths from each of five leading US causes are preventable Premature deaths from each cause due to modifiable risks Each year, nearly 900,000 Americans die prematurely from the five leading causes of death – yet 20 percent to 40 percent of the deaths from each cause could be prevented, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The five leading causes of death in the United States are heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke, and unintentional injuries. Together they accounted for 63 percent of all U.S. deaths in 2010, with rates for each cause varying greatly from state to state. The report, in this week’s issue of CDC’s weekly journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, analyzed premature deaths (before age 80) from each cause for each state from 2008 to 2010. The authors then calculated the number of deaths from each cause that would have been prevented if all states had same death rate as the states with the lowest rates. The study suggests that, if all states had the lowest death rate observed for each cause, it would be possible to prevent: 34 percent of premature deaths from heart diseases, prolonging about 92,000 lives 21 percent of premature cancer deaths, prolonging about 84,500 lives 39 percent of premature deaths from chronic lower respiratory diseases, prolonging about 29,000 lives 33 percent of premature stroke deaths, prolonging about 17,000 lives 39 percent of premature deaths from unintentional injuries, prolonging about 37,000 lives Read More>> Modify/Update Subscriber Preferences  |  Unsubscribe  |  Send Feedback  |  Learn more about CDC Email Updates To receive the latest news for your region, please update your profile with your country, state and zip code.
