Life expectancy climbs as mortality rates fall for major diseases - in 2000 - Brief Article
The slight increase in U.S. LE that's forecasted in 2050 is due to a decline inmortality rates, including a 49.4% decline in ischemic heart disease death rates, a 40.5% drop in stroke death rates, and a 35.7% decrease in diabetes death rates. "In spite of modest increases inlife exp...
"What we do see is almost across the board some slight improvement in mortality," he said. "I'm cautiously optimistic, but after having had four years of a decline in life expectancy, I worry about whether or not this is just a blip." After decades of increases, life expectancy in the...
The number of people dying from certain conditions, such as heart disease, has increased as population has increased, but decreases in age-specific mortality rates for these conditions is a sign of progress. Death rates from most cancers, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colon cancer...
disability and mortality rates associated with these conditions. 2.1.1AD AD is the most common neurodegenerative disease, and the most common form of dementia, comprising 60–70% of all dementia cases [61]. AD is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease, with affected patients typically ...
Life expectancy is growing, fertility rates are falling and the population is aging. We’re marrying later and having fewer children, if any at all. Technology means we can do almost all we need to do from home without physically interacting with a single human soul, and a chronic lack of...
"Also, men and women diagnosed younger have a longer life expectancy in which to suffer treatment-related side effects, such as second cancers." The report also showed progress against cancer is hampered by wide static cancer di...
Typically, species that produce offspring with high mortality rates have short life spans, show early maturity, and produce a large number of small, low-quality offspring. If many of the offspring are unlikely to survive until maturity, it benefits a species to reduce the time it takes for ma...

There's actually more overlap between these two behaviors than we typically acknowledge. Both suicide and overdose are exceptionally common in people with opioid-use disorder. Both contribute to the high mortality rates we see in this population. ...
