The leading causes of death in Erie County mirror that of the state and nation. We have seen improvements in our rates of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and pneumonia/influenza. However, we have seen our death rates increase for cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents, kidney diseases, alzheimer’s disease, and septicemia. There are notable differences in leading cause of death depending on age. For example, accidents are actually the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 1-44. And, cancer is the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 45-64. While our rates are comparable with the state and nation, we remain below the goals set by Healthy People 2010, and should continue to support wellness and prevention programs to reduce these rates.
