Passage: After contrasting the leading causes of death C.D.C. and the Medical News Today websites, the top 10 aspects are almost similar primarily because they provide similar patterns as well as cases. For these reasons, it is evident that the most common causes of death are attributed to Chronic conditions like heart disease and cancer (Tavella, 2019).
According to the findings, heart disease and cancer are great examples of the top causes of death, with heart disease leading in both cases. The statistics of heart diseases fall within the category of 640 000 to 690, 0000 and the population among a given area with a hundred thousand individuals, the rate is over 200 persons (National Center for Health Statistics, 2023). For cancer, the number falls between 500,000 to 600 000. Some of these diseases, like the ones presented here, share similar characteristics, including age and genetic factors (Tavella, 2019).
In that case, with regard to what we have studied over the past four weeks, it becomes clear that diseases vary between genders as much as they vary between various societal factors. In that case, as much as death is inevitable, the concept can be avoided through several approaches. For instance, lower respiratory infections can be avoided by minimizing smoking (National Center for Health Statistics, 2023).
Therefore, notable trends can be seen as a result of these statistics, and these primarily revolve around these fatal causes of death being brought about by recklessness. For instance, even unintentional injuries are brought about by individuals overlooking safety, which includes aspects like not wearing safety belts (National Center for Health Statistics, 2023).
Stress and coping contribute to illness and disease in the following ways. According to research, it has been proven that the body’s system can be victim to chronic stress, so when the stress is not released through proper coping techniques, it affects the immune system, creating illnesses (Tavella, 2019).
The information above relates to me in that all the factors leading to death are a part of what I interact with within society. As such, noting these constructs allows me to ensure that I carry out the appropriate healthy behavior. For instance, by regulating my weight and what I consume, I can avoid diabetes (Tavella, 2019).
Safe lifestyles are easy and integral to achieve since they primarily revolve around do’s and don’ts. To improve the health of the citizens in my community, the recommendations I would make revolve around healthy conduct within their everyday routines. This means that whatever is labeled as hazardous, like smoking, is entirely avoided. Moreover, exercise should be effectively applied in everyday practices (National Center for Health Statistics, 2023).
