when you look at the numbers you really
appreciate the value of life
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top five
causes of death in men that are way too
common
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the five leading causes of death in men
and ranking them based on how prevalent
they are number five diabetes urogenital
blood and endocrine diseases this
umbrella of medical conditions on the
rise in the u.s. claims the lives of
roughly forty three men per 100,000 each
year though such diseases can affect
people across the globe the regions of
the world where fatalities are highest
include Mexico where the rate skyrockets
to 161 per 100,000 and parts of Central
and South America Africa the Middle East
and Southeast Asia in Fiji the country
where such deaths are at their highest
the number is closer to 350 per 100,000
each year apart from diabetes the other
common conditions in this category
include kidney disease
hemoglobinopathies hemolytic anemias
urinary diseases and others number four
chronic respiratory diseases there are
many things humans are capable of living
without but oxygen is not one of them
and unfortunately the respiratory system
can play host to a wide variety of
serious conditions globally speaking 54
out of every 100,000 men will die per
year of a disease of this type what’s
perhaps most frustrating about the high
death toll associated with these
conditions is that the vast majority of
the deaths are preventable if proper
medical treatment is made available as
such the incidence of death from chronic
respiratory conditions is significantly
higher in developing countries number
three
diarrhea lower respiratory and other
common infectious diseases diarrhea is
something most Westerners think of as
little more than an unpleasant but
fleeting gastrointestinal experience in
at-risk populations however it can
result in severe dehydration and if left
untreated death individuals who are
prone to diarrhea due to environmental
factors
conditions and lack of access to proper
medical treatment also have an increased
risk of contracting lower respiratory
infections of course smoking can also
contribute to lower respiratory problems
and of these pneumonia is arguably the
biggest killer add to that the common
infectious diseases like malaria and
you’ve got a substantial danger to the
health of men particularly in countries
where potable drinking water is scarce
number 2 neoplasms cancer don’t let the
name confuse you a neoplasm simply
refers to any anomalous growth or mass
stemming from the abnormal division of
cells if the resulting tumor is benign
with the exception of a few very rare
instances it poses no threat to one’s
safety if it’s malignant however it’s
classified as cancer every year
139 out of every 100,000 men around the
world will lose their lives to cancer of
one form or another unlike many of the
other leading causes previously
discussed fatal cancer is far less
discriminating lifestyle factors and
medical care do play a role but not
nearly to the same degree as other
causes of death number one
cardiovascular diseases of all the
leading causes of death and men that are
far too common in our times this is the
one that’s most prevalent in a
substantial numerical leap from a
runner-up entry cardiovascular disease
claims the lives of 249 per 100,000 men
yearly but thankfully the number is in
steady decline back in 2000 the fatality
rate was much higher at 320 per 100,000
nonetheless it remains the leading cause
of death in men within this class of
deadly conditions ischemic heart disease
is the leading killer followed by
strokes with various other
cardiovascular diseases each doing their
part to achieve this grim statistic the
take away make heart healthy choices
