Top 10 Causes of Preventable Death
Based on a Harvard study done in the United States, these are the top causes of premature or preventable death among Americans:
10 – Abuse of Alcohol
Taking too much alcohol causes non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or “lifestyle diseases” like cancer, liver disease, and stroke. Major road accidents, violence, and related injuries are mostly attributed to alcohol abuse which is prevalent among people between the ages of 30 and 45.
.
9 – High Intake of Trans-fatty Acids
Hydrogenated or unsaturated fat, also known as trans-fat, accumulates in the body and its effects in the long term are life-threatening.
.
8 – Low Intake of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential to prevent many diseases and boost brain health. These are commonly found in tuna and seafood.
.
7 – High Dietary Salt
Too much sodium makes the body more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases.
.
6 – LDL Cholesterol
The LDL cholesterol, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol, is also a cardiovascular threat.
.
5 – High Blood Sugar
This is usually associated with diabetes. It is also related to eye, kidney, and nerve damage.
.
4 – Lack of Physical Activity
Being physically inactive slows down the body. It roughly accounts to one in every ten deaths. It is mostly seen after the age of 70 and more common in women than in men.
.
3 – Being Overweight
This condition is also responsible for one in ten deaths and more typical among the middle-aged.
.
2 – High Blood Pressure
Hypertension causes one in every five or six deaths. It is usually caused by indirect risk factors such as obesity, inactivity, too much salt, and alcohol abuse which are all fatal on their own.
.
1 – Smoking
Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death. 50% of all long-term smokers die from a disease directly related to smoking. It also adds up to 33% of all cancer deaths. Even people who already stopped the habit are still largely at risk since smoking causes harmful long-term effects.

Recognize Your Health Risks
- Do you try to maintain your ideal body weight?
- Do you avoid eating foods with lots of fat and sugar?
- Do you exercise and always try to be physically active?
- Do you do muscle strengthening and conditioning exercises?
- Do you get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis?
- Do you cope with pressure and stress well?
- Do you have time to relax on a daily basis?
- Do you avoid smoking cigarettes or tobacco?
- Do you avoid drinking too much alcohol?
- Do you avoid taking drugs not prescribed by your doctor?
The questions you answered with “no” indicate your health risk factors. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chances of getting NCDs.
You can reduce your health risks by working on one risk factor at a time. If you have identified smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and not being able to manage stress as your health risk factors, do not attempt to change everything at once. Concentrate on one risk factor first before tackling another one. You could start to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. Once you have broken the habit, you can focus on managing your stress level and find more time to relax. Then plan how you can quit smoking. This step-by-step process will give you the strength and confidence to eventually eliminate all your health risks.
