What kills us

2014-11-17 21:33:40.453924+01 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.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
