A study by PARequirements analyzed mortality data to reveal the top causes of death by age.
Infants are most at risk from SIDS and birth defects, while unintentional injuries—like drowning and car crashes—lead among children and young adults. Suicide and homicide become significant in adolescence. From 45 onward, cancer and heart disease dominate, with heart disease being the leading cause for those 65 and older. Opioid overdoses also contribute heavily to deaths in adults under 45.
Understanding these patterns can help promote prevention efforts and healthier lifestyles across all age groups.
