The three highest factors for premature mortality in the United States are smoking (467,000 deaths yearly), high blood pressure (395,000 deaths yearly), and being overweight (216,000 deaths yearly). It turns out that one in five deaths in American adults is caused by the effects of smoking. High blood pressure is accountable for one in six deaths. Researchers did a comprehensive study to see how lifestyle and diet affect mortality rates. They calculated premature or preventable deaths based on whether the victims would have died at the time they did if they had not been exposed to the actions that related to their end. This study compared the various set of possibilities in terms of how many deaths each of the risk factors are dependable on. It was found that high blood pressure was the primary cause of death in adult women while smoking was the predominant cause in men. The study noted that salt was the single most important dietary factor connected to avertable death. Sources: ScienceDaily (Apr. 30, 2009)
