Dear MEL Topic Readers,

What do the people of the world die from?

The world seems to have become safer and more hygienic than right after World War II, and as a result, people around the world live much longer. Though there still are victims of war, terrorism and natural disasters, the deaths from such causes account less than 1% of all deaths combined. Over 70% of deaths come from non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancers, which combined attributes nearly half of all deaths.

Despite the improved living conditions, there still are over three million, mainly babies and children die from diarrhea and neonatal disorders, the death of a baby within the first 28 days, which could be prevented by better hygiene and medical care.  

Surprisingly, almost twice as many people killed themselves as those who were killed by others. In fact, suicide was the leading cause of death in the UK for men aged between 20 and 40.

But the cause of deaths varies widely by country and region. This means there are a lot could be done to reduce preventable deaths, especially vulnerable children.

Enjoy reading and learn what are taking away human lives.
