In other words, 28.5% of the deceased perished from one of this group of diseases. They are paintings that can be prevented with healthy measures such as No Smoking, eat a balanced diet, no alcohol consumptionY doing physical activityin addition to reduce stressful situations.
However, there are also genetic conditions that can increase the chances of having a circulatory problem.
Second, we find the cancers and tumorscancers are another group of diseases that can be prevent with the pillars of a healthy life. There were 64,997 deaths, 19% of the deaths, which is why they are the second cause.
The Vital Statistics report distinguishes 19 categories of tumors. The group responsible for the most deaths is the trachea, bronchi and lung with 9,300 (2.7% of all deaths)
They are followed by: colorectal, with 7,539; breast, with 5,992; and pancreas, with 4,473. The impact of cancer on the population is a combination of the incidence (number of cases in the total population) and the lethality (rate of deaths among the number of cases).
In Argentina, more than 130,000 cases of cancer are diagnosed each year. The most detected are: breast, colorectal, lung, prostate and kidneys. Others have a lower incidence, but are more lethal, as is the case with pancreatic cancer.
Then the traffic accidents, being surpassed only by respiratory diseases. External causes were the fourth cause of more deaths with 18,279 deaths and 5.3% of the total.
Within this category are car accidents (3,370 deaths), suicides (3,297), assaults (1,612), drownings (311) and other types of intentional and unintentional accidents.
respiratory diseasesTogether, these diseases of the respiratory system were the third most deadly in the country with 61,979 deaths (18.1% of the total). However, only the subcategory “Pneumonia and Influenza” it was the deadliest agent (32,541 deaths).
Pneumonia can be caused by a pathogen (bacteria, virus, or fungus). Many cases occur in hospitals, so it affects very vulnerable patients. In turn, the risk of contracting and dying from pneumonia increases with age, if the person smokes or has a chronic respiratory disease.
Preventive measures are vaccination, avoiding smoking, good personal hygiene and maintaining a robust immune system.
For their part, chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract such as COPD caused 6,771 deaths.
Lastly, and as an encouraging figure, reductions in mortality rates were observed for HIV, tuberculosis, Chagas, intestinal infectious diseases and parasitic diseases.
