Some Deaths Are Preventable

Life expectancy continues to increase with advancing healthcare, but there are still a prominent number of preventable deaths each year. The causes range from unhealthy eating to lack of physical activity, both of which contribute to the two main causes of preventable deaths in the United States: heart disease and diabetes.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, which is the developed country with the worst preventable death rate. It’s an alarming statistic considering the advanced nature of U.S. medical care. In the U.S., 32% of women under the age of 75 die from preventable deaths, while 23% of men under 75 suffer the same fate.

Despite advances in modern medicine, the U.S. is improving its preventable death rate at a slower rate than any other developed country. Inactivity and poor diet are the primary culprits, exacerbated by U.S. tendencies for easily accessible fast food and conveniences.

Keeping Your Children Safe

 Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for children in the United States.  In fact, more than 9,000 children die from accidental injury each year.  That is nearly 25 deaths a day.  In addition, over 2.9 million children are treated each day for fall injuries.

As scary as those statistics may be, the simple fact is that most of these accidents can be avoided.  Keeping your children safe is the most important job that you - as a parent - will ever have.  The key is understanding what the dangers are how to address them and minimize the risk that they pose.  

For instance, car accidents are responsible for 25 percent of accidental deaths in children age 1-4.  However, a properly installed car seat can reduce the risk of death by 54 percent?

This infographic outlines the causes of accidental death and injury in children and what parents can do to keep them safe.
