Mint Hill NC Chiropractor Explains the Third Leading Cause of Death in The United States

Strokes have been listed as the third leading cause of death in the United States for quite some time. The total cost of strokes to the United States has been estimated at approximately 43 billion dollars per year.

Healthcare Studies have suggested that approximately 73 million people in the United States age 20 and older have high blood pressure. Meanwhile, approximately 23 million people, or 7.8% of the US population have diabetes, with a cost of 174 billion dollars annually.

Regarding obesity in the US, there are approximately 58 million people that are considered overweight, 40 million people are categorized as obese, and 3 million people are categorized as morbidly obese. The estimated cost for the above is approximately 75 billion dollars per year to the US economy.


Startling Statistics Provided by Mint Hill NC Chiropractor

In the US today, over 10 million individuals are estimated to already have osteoporosis. Almost 34 million more in the US are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. In 2005, osteoporosis-related fractures were responsible for an estimated 19 billion dollars to the US economy.

It is hard to believe that there are people dying of an inadequate diet in the United States where there is a surplus of food... but it is true. There appears to be little hope of reversing the trend despite spending 1.4 trillion dollars per year on Healthcare.

Back in 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) performed a huge worldwide ranking of the Health Care status of various Nations around the world. The results were staggering!
