For instance, in 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that over 1.3 million Americans died from an infectious disease, and nearly half of those deaths were due to a combination of respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses. The CDC also found that these illnesses were more prevalent in males than females—a gender gap that continues to be an issue today.
When it comes to infectious diseases, women tend to die first from cardiovascular diseases, even though the CDC says it doesn’t “necessarily” blame women for the disproportionate disease burden. If you’re new to epidemiology, it’s probably a good idea to know which part of the body causes which illness.
It’s also very common for males to die from respiratory illnesses but the CDC says that women are more likely to die from the same diseases but from respiratory illnesses (which are also associated with pneumonia).
Women tend to die from cardiovascular diseases a lot more than men. The reason is, in addition to being a higher risk factor for cardiovascular disease as a whole, women generally have less access to high tech medicine and thus tend to die from lower-tech problems.
Men are also more likely to have certain types of cancer than women, namely lung, breast, and bowel. Lung cancer is also associated with smoking and high cholesterol, so the fact that men tend to die from those two things is probably connected.
So why is it that women die from cardiovascular disease? Well, they have less access to it, for one. And they tend to have certain types of cancer than men. We’re still not sure what causes lung cancer, but the fact that men tend to die from that type of cancer probably explains why women tend to die from cardiovascular disease.
And that’s the problem. You see, men, as a rule, have more cardiovascular disease, so it would make sense that men would die from it. On the other hand, the fact that women tend to die from it, well, women tend to die from many things, so it makes sense that they would die from some other type of heart disease. (I’m looking at you, heart disease.
The truth is that women tend to die from many things, from heart disease to breast cancer. We just don’t know a whole lot about the role that sex plays in these diseases, and because of this, the cause of death is often a mystery.
It turns out that women tend to die from things like breast cancer, not heart disease so its no surprise that they tend to die from it. But, since the death rate of breast cancer is the highest for women in the US, the fact that many women die from breast cancer is no surprise. But we don’t have the data to test this theory.
It turns out that a lot of the data about the relationship between breast cancer and breast cancer death is misleading. For example, the fact that the death rate from breast cancer is higher for women in the US can be explained by the fact that the deaths from breast cancer are more likely to be because of breast cancer than because of a heart attack.
