0:00.0	In today's show, let's talk about the top causes of death here in the US during the year 2022.
0:04.7	If you've been following this channel on this platform for a while, you know that every year
0:08.4	we review this data. I think it's actually surprising for a lot of people because many people
0:12.8	are still wearing disposable gloves and have hand sanitizer strap to their backpack or purse
0:18.5	and also wear a N95 mask when they go to Costco to stockpile mountain dew and pop charts and pringles.
0:24.5	But it's important to recognize that heart disease and cancer, which are needless to say,
0:28.8	preventable deaths and or conditions comprise and have comprised for the past three years
0:35.5	the top two causes of mortality. And this year, COVID-19 because of Omicron being less virulent

1:30.1	the top two leading causes of mortality here in the US. COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death
1:36.7	during the year 2020 and 2022. It's now only the fourth leading cause of mortality. And if you
1:43.0	want to know the numbers, there was 690,000 people died from heart disease during the year 2022,
1:49.7	which has increased compared to 2021 and 2020. Also cancer comprised 607,000 deaths during the
1:57.8	year 2022, which is up from about 586,000 in 2021. Now the third leading cause mortality is
