The top five causes of premature death in England are cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and liver disease. These five illnesses account for over 150,000 deaths per year among people under 75 years old, and about two-thirds of those deaths are considered preventable. The document discusses lifestyle risk factors that contribute to these illnesses, such as smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity, and excessive drinking. It emphasizes that preventing these illnesses through healthy lifestyle choices could significantly reduce premature deaths in England each year.

than ever before. Yet, a Government report, Living Well for
Longer (PDF, 1.6Mb), blames the top five killers for more than
150,000 deaths a year among under-75s in England alone
and the Department of Health estimates two-thirds of them are
entirely avoidable.

• More than one in three people will
develop some form of cancer during
their lifetime. According to Cancer
Research UK, an unhealthy lifestyle is
the root cause of about a third of all
cancers.

• Experts say most cases
of premature death
from heart disease are
completely preventable.
• Smoking, being
overweight, having high
blood pressure and/or
high cholesterol, heavy
drinking and physical
inactivity are all key risk
factors.

8. Reduce your risk of stroke
• Stroke is the third leading
cause of death in England
each year and the leading
cause of disability.
• More than 150,000 people
have a stroke every year in
the UK but, according to The
Stroke Association, up to
10,000 of these could be
prevented if more people were
aware of the symptoms and
sought out emergency
treatment.

• Respiratory disease covers a
variety of conditions ranging
from asthma to (COPD) one of
the most common causes of
death.

increase in cases over the last decade. The disease develops
silently and many people have no idea there's anything wrong

obesity and viral hepatitis .

killers by health lifestyle and early diagnosis , also at
least 50% by avoiding smoking and drinking .What's
more , that will save Millions of pounds wasted
