Age and Cause. Brief. Data Details. The graph below depicts U.S. preliminary deaths and death rates per 100,000 population for the six leading causes of unintentional injury-related deaths in 2022 by age, through age 99. Additional years of data are also available (see Using the Charts and Tables). Chart. Data Table.
Data Details. The top three leading causes of preventable injury-related death – poisoning , falls, and motor vehicle – account for 86% of all preventable deaths. No other preventable cause of death — including suffocation , drowning , fires and burns, and natural or environmental disasters — accounts for more than 5% of the total.
In the first half of life, more Americans die from injuries and violence — such as motor vehicle crashes, suicide, or homicides — than from any other cause, including cancer, HIV, or the flu. This makes injury the leading cause of death among persons aged 1-44.
