Heart Disease and Cancer Top the List of US Deaths

Severe medical conditions can lead to disability. If you qualify under the Social Security Administration's listing of impairments, you may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits.

Health News reports that some of the leading causes of premature death could be prevented. The World Health Organization issued its Global Status Report which lists the following conditions as the leading causes of death worldwide:

 

• cancer;
• diabetes
• heart disease;
• stroke; and
• chronic lung disease.

 

More than 36 million people die every year from these diseases. Furthermore, approximately 30% of these deaths occur in people under the age of 60. And it is believed that many of these deaths could be prevented with healthy lifestyle changes.

Some of the risk factors for many of the leading causes of premature death include:

 

• smoking;
• limited or no physical activity;
• poor nutrition; and
• alcohol abuse.

 

Other findings from this report indicate the top 5 leading causes of death in the U.S. are:

 

• heart disease;
• cancer;
• chronic lower respiratory disease;
• stroke; and
• accidents.

 

If you have questions concerning eligibility or need help in appealing a claim that has been denied, consult with a Broward County Social Security disability attorney.
