Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi folks: The pope's cause of death, which seems to have been septicemia, is ranked tenth in the broadly defined causes of death in the US, as will be seen in the following table. I am not sure how well it will format: Causes of Death - Final Data 2001 - United States (All causes accounting for more than one percent of deaths) Percent -- Number ---- Cause ------- -- ------- --- ------------- 29.0% ---- 700,142 --- Heart Disease 22.9 ----- 553,768 --- Cancer 6.8 ----- 163,538 --- Stroke 5.1 ----- 123,013 --- Chronic lower respiratory disease 4.2 ----- 101,537 --- Accidents 3.0 ------ 71,372 --- Diabetes 2.6 ------ 62,034 --- Pneumonia/influenza 2.2 ------ 53,852 --- Alzheimer's 1.6 ------ 39,480 --- Kidney disease 1.3 ------ 32,238 --- Septicemia 1.3 ------ 30,622 --- Suicide 1.1 ------ 27,035 --- Liver disease (Data source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr52/nvsr52_03.pdf) Any suggestions for ways to avoid septicemia?
