Unbounded Medicine

Several times, some people have asked me what causes death to mexicans.

On the last mortality statistics (2004) of general population, the main causes of death were [independently of sex]:

1. Heart disease - 16.4%
2. Complications of Diabetes Mellitus - 13.1%
3. Cancer - 12.9%
4. Traumatic injuries - 7.4%
5. Liver disease (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) - 6.2%
6. Stroke - 5.7%
7. Perinatal complications - 3.5%
8. COPD - 3.0%
9. Pneumonia & influenza - 2.6%
10. Kidney failure - 2.0%
