The most common conventional causes of death in industrialized countries are cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease and accident (in that order). Alzheimer's victims usually die of pneumonia, a lung condition or a cerebrovascular condition -- so Alzheimer's victims are often declared to die of other causes. FORMAL NAME INFORMAL NAME %ALL DEATHS Diseases of the heart heart attack (mainly) 28.5% Malignant neoplasms cancer 22.8% http://www.benbest.com/lifeext/causes.html

It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251. 5 The estimated totals for 2001 using conservative figures: TOTAL deaths; 783,936 cost $282 billion We could have an even higher death rate by using Dr. Lucien Leape’s 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million. 14 Multiplied by the fatality rate of 14 percent (that Leape used in 1994 16 we arrive at an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors combined. If we put this number in place of Lazorou’s 106,000 drug errors and the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) 98,000 medical errors, we could add another 216,000 deaths making a total of 999,936 deaths annually. TOTAL 999,936 Now, how about some change we can believe in!

Depends on how you view a cause. Many old people die of cancer or heart disease or neurological events and so on. So you could treat each of those deaths as caused by the most immediate problem (i.e. cancer, heart disease and so on). In which case you get figures for each individual disease. Or you could view it that essentially most disease deaths in the elderly, such as those I've mentioned, are basically complications of the aging process. As you age you body malfunctions in numerous ways. And often these disease in the elderly are basically a result of being old and a degenerating body. In which case you could view that "complications" of old age, together, are the biggest killer in most Western countries.

Old age and natural causes. America seems to have forgotten that everyone will die and there will always be a "cause" other than "old age" to put on the birth certificate. Each of these deaths will incur end of life medical costs whether the person ate fatty foods, drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes, drank sugery drinks, was overweight, ran marathons, or lived on the sofa.
