The 7 Most Common Causes of Death in Japan
We all have to go sometime. But none of us has to hurry the eventual day along.
Japanese live long - 79+ years for men and 84+ years for women. Mean people like my ex-mother-in-law live longer.
I am not sure why.
A quarter of a century ago to two major causes of death in Japan were cerebrovascular diseases 139.5/100K and cancer 139.1/100K.
It's different now.
The top 7 causes of death/100,000 people.
1. Old age - 18.0
2. Suicide - 23.8
3. Accidents - 30.7
4. Pneumonia - 69.4
5. Cerebrovascular disease - 103.4
6. Heart diseases - 121.0
7. The big C - Cancer - 241.7.
Despite medical advances, the number of deaths from illness grew by 60% in the past 25 years or so.
What's up with that?
