Precription drugs is the leading cause of deaths but there are many deaths due to alcohol and smokin. 9% brave teenagers attempt suicides... More than 80% teenagers suffer from some kind of depression..
The situation becomes more worse when take into account the obesity related health factors.
Teenagers are increasingly becoming more obese.And still an average american manages to live upto an average life span of more than 78 years...
Thats very surprising but still less than 30 other countries.
Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world yet we see than quite a number of traditional people manage to live upto 80.
India a developing country has a good average life span.
Nigeria has one of the worst record with average life expectancy of 47 years.
allAfrica.com: Nigeria: Life Expectancy - Why Country is Not Improving (Page 1 of 2)
Clearly the health problem is much more serious in Africa than in America.
And we need to much more in the health sector globally.
160 nations have agreed to ban the tobacco but we know no one is actually going to ban the smokin because we are AFRAID of financial suicide...
The cowards are giving lessons of life.
