5 Causes of Morbidity:

1.) Disease of the heart:

*Plaque buildup thickens and stiffens artery walls,

which can inhibit blood flow through your arteries to
your organs and tissues. Atherosclerosis is also the
most common cause of cardiovascular disease. It
can be caused by correctable problems, such as an
unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight
and smoking.

*Over time, plaque can harden or rupture (break open).

Hardened plaque narrows the coronary arteries and
reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. This can
cause chest pain or discomfort called angina.

If the plaque ruptures, blood cell fragments called platelets

(PLATE-lets) stick to the site of the injury. They may clump
together to form blood clots.

Blood clots can further narrow the coronary arteries and

worsen angina. If a clot becomes large enough, it can
mostly or completely block a coronary artery and cause
a heart attack.
2.) Cancer

*Gene mutations that occur after birth. Most gene

mutations occur after you're born and aren't
inherited. A number of forces can cause gene
mutations, such as smoking, radiation,
viruses, cancer-causing (carcinogen chemicals),
obesity, hormones, chronic inflammation and a lack
of exercise.

*Over 30% of cancers are potentially avoidable by

reducing key risk factors: the most significant of these
is tobacco use, which is the cause of about 22%
of cancer deaths. Another 10% is due to obesity, a
poor diet, lack of physical activity, and drinking
alcohol.

*Some behavioral and environmental

triggers can cause changes in the body's cells that
push them into a cancerous state. For example,
cigarettes are known to increase the risk of
lung cancer. Too much exposure to the
sun can increase the risk of skin cancer.
3.) Malignant Neoplasm

*A neoplasm can be caused by an abnormal

proliferation of tissues, which can be caused by
genetic mutations. Not all types of neoplasms cause
a tumorous overgrowth of tissue, however (such
as leukemia or carcinoma in situ). Recently, tumor
growth has been studied using mathematics and
continuum mechanics.

*Most malignant brain tumours are caused by

a cancer that started somewhere else in the body
and spread to the brain, through the bloodstream.
These are known as secondary tumours. Cancers
that can spread to the brain include lung cancer,
breast cancer, bowel cancer and melanoma
skin cancer.
4.) Tuberculosis

*Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that spread from

person to person through microscopic droplets
released into the air. This can happen when
someone with the untreated, active form
of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits, laughs
or sings. Although tuberculosis is contagious, it's not
easy to catch.

*The Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium causes

TB. It is spread through the air when a person with TB
(whose lungs are affected) coughs, sneezes, spits,
laughs, or talks. TB is contagious, but it is not easy to
catch.
 5.) Pneumonia

*Pneumonia is inflammation of the airspaces in the lungs,

most commonly due to an infection.

*Pneumonia may be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi;

less frequently by other causes.

*The most common bacterial type that causes pneumonia is

Streptococcus pneumoniae.

*The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia is

a type of bacteria known as Streptococcus
pneumoniae. Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia
pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae,
and Legionella pneumophila are some other major
bacteria that cause pneumonia.
 5 Causes of Mortality:

1.) Diabetes

*Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune

system destroying the cells in the pancreas that
make insulin. This causes diabetes by leaving the
body without enough insulin to function
normally. This is called an autoimmune reaction,
or autoimmune cause, because the body is
attacking itself.

*Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with abnormally

high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin produced
by the pancreas lowers blood glucose. Absence or
insufficient production of insulin, or an inability of the body
to properly use insulin causes diabetes.

2.) Accidents

*Distracted driving continues to be the number

one leading cause of car accidents in America.
Talking on the phone, texting, eating, reading,
grooming, and talking are just some of the ways
drivers get distracted behind the wheel.

*Distracted Driving. The number one cause of car accidents

is not a criminal that drove drunk, sped or ran a red light. ...

*Speeding. You've seen them on the highway. ...

*Drunk Driving. ...

*Reckless Driving. ...

*Rain. ...

*Running Red Lights. ...

*Running Stop Signs.

3.) Stroke

*A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your

brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives your
brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause
your brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused
by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the
leaking or bursting of a blood vessel
(hemorrhagic stroke).

*Stress hormones increase blood pressure, and

when those hormones are around long-term,
it can lead to high blood pressure, the
leading cause of stroke. Stresshormones are also
known to lead to diabetes, atherosclerosis, and
heart disease which are all stroke risk factors.
 4.) Alzheimers Disease

*Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain

cell death. It is a neurodegenerative disease, which means
there is progressive brain cell death that happens over a
course of time. The total brain size shrinks with Alzheimer's -
the tissue has progressively fewer nerve cells and
connections.

*Scientists believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease

is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and
environmental factors that affect the brain over time. Less
than 5 percent of the time, Alzheimer's is caused by specific
genetic changes that virtually guarantee a person will
develop the disease.

5.) Suicide

*The most common situations or life events that

might cause suicidal thoughts are grief, sexual
abuse, financial problems, remorse, rejection,
relationship breakup and
unemployment. Psychiatric factors linked to a
higher risk of suicidal ideation include:
Adjustment disorder.

*They're depressed. This is without question the

most common reason people commit suicide.
Severe depression is always accompanied by a
pervasive sense of suffering as well as the belief
that escape from it is hopeless. The pain of
existence often becomes too much for severely
depressed people to bear.
