What kills us

2014-11-17 20:33:40.453924+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Fascinating: New England Journal of Medicine: The Burden of Disease and the Changing Task of Medicine, including a great chart on the difference in what we died from in 1900 (TB, pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections, etc) vs what we died from in 2010 (Cancer and Heart Disease).

Via Vox: What kills us, in one chart.
