Take a look at the following chart, which we’ve put together from a variety of sources. It shows the total number of deaths annually due to various disease-related and accidental causes, as well as an average individual’s lifetime risk for a given health worry. On the scariest day of the year, maybe this will help put it all in perspective.
Risk | Annual Deaths | Lifetime risk |
Heart disease | 652,486 | 1 in 5 |
Cancer | 553,888 | 1 in 7 |
Stroke | 150,074 | 1 in 24 |
Hospital infections | 99,000 | 1 in 38 |
Flu | 45,000 | 1 in 83 |

Sources: Unless otherwise noted, all accidental death information fromNational Safety Council. Disease death information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lifetime risk is calculated by dividing 2003 population (290,850,005) by the number of deaths, divided by 77.6, the life expectancy of a person born in 2003. *Shark data represents number of attacks worldwide, not deaths.
