10대 사망원인.

• What do you notice?
• Which of these causes are the same as on the CDC list, and which are different?
• How many of them are related to nutrition?
• What commonalities do you observe?

 

 

In Singapore, I’ve noticed there are different factors between CDC and Singapore. In the List, 

Same factors are Cancer and Heart disease, Accidents and Stroke, Pneumonia, Kidney disease. But usually in Singapore, I found that there are more diseases such as pneumonia and chronic lower respiratory diseases. I guess about lung problem is more serious in Singapore even it’s hot weather, but it’s because always aircondition all around. And even heart diseases, cancer is most first factor and the second one is pneumonia, and heart diseases are third even it’s including other heart disease.(in Singapore, they separate the factor as Ischemic heart diseases and other heart disease.)

8 factors considered related to nutrition.

I observed cancer and heart diseases, pneumonia are main reason for caused of death. Because they have portion of percentage  80% for the top 10.

[2023년 한국인 10대 사망원인]

1. 암(악성신생물): 40년 이상 1위 유지
2. 심장 질환
3. 폐렴
4. 뇌혈관 질환
5. 고의적 자해(자살): 10~30대 사망원인 1위
6. 알츠하이머병
7. 당뇨병
8. 고혈압성 질환
9. 간 질환 (전년 대비 상승)
10. 패혈증 (전년 대비 하락)

 

 

 

암과 심장질환은 3개의 국가 모두에서 가장 높은 사망원인들로 보인다.

미국은 자살과 사고, 싱가포르는 사고, 한국은 자살을 제외하면 나머지가 모두 질병이다.

각 나라마다 사망원인의 질병 구분이나 포함여부가 달라 정확하게 비교하기는 어렵지만.

 

신장질환(kidney 콩팥)이 싱가포르나 한국에서는 10위내 사망원인에 없지만, 미국에서는 사망원인 9위이다.

kidney disease는 예전부터 동물성 육류를 섭취하는 것과 관계가 있음이 많이 알려져있다고 한다.
