The Preventable Causes of Death in the United States: Comparative Risk Assessment of Dietary, Lifestyle, and Metabolic Risk Factors (2009, methodology): “Mortality Effects of Risk Factors by Sex and Age High blood pressure was the leading cause of death in women (231,000 deaths [95% CI 213,000–249,000], 19% of all female deaths), whereas smoking remains the leading cause of death in men (248,000 deaths [226,000–269,000], 21% of all male deaths).”
Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift (2011, background): “It is also notable that the prevalence of hypertension dropped by half between 1960 and 2000, a time when average weight sharply increased, declining much more steeply among those deemed overweight and obese than among thinner individuals [90].”
Cardiac Steatosis in Diabetes Mellitus: A 1H-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study (2007, background): “Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age 70 years, (2) known presence of or medical treatment for coronary artery disease, (3) previous myocardial infarction, (4) metallic implants, (5) pregnancy, or (6) claustrophobia.”
Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the United States. (2007, background): “The increase in prevalence of CKD is partly explained by the increase in a number of CKD risk factors, including an aging US population and an increase in the proportion of individuals with obesity, diagnosed diabetes, and hypertension.(5,24,25) The proportion of”
