Top Six Causes of Death For Men

On average, women outlive men by roughly five years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2003, life expectancy for men was 74.8 years as compared to 80.1 years for women.

Here are the top six causes of death for men:

1. Heart Disease

2. Cancer

3. Unintentional injuries

4. Stroke

5. Pulmonary Disease

6. Diabetes

The upside is that most of these killers are preventable with proper health care. This is just another reason why we should pay more attention to taking better care of ourselves.
