Changes in Mortality in Top 10 Causes of Death from 2011 to 2018	2020-07-23		.txt	text/plain	795	49	71	Therefore, we examined changes in the number of deaths and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) attributed to the top 10 causes of death between 2011 and 2018, the last year we have data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We chose 2011 as the start date because of earlier work showing a transition in 2011 in 2 of the top 10 causes of death (heart disease and stroke) from a long-term decline to increasing numbers of deaths since then. Important patterns of change in AAMR in the past decade have been previously noted, from stalling of the decline in mortality due to heart disease 1 to decrease in life expectancy attributed to drug overdoses and suicides among young and middle-aged adults. Further, the ≥ 65 years population is projected to increase by 39% from 52.4 million in 2018 to 73.1 million in 2030 3 so that the number of deaths from most of the 10 leading causes can be expected to increase unless more effective preventive and therapeutic interventions can be implemented.	./cache/cord-301399-s2i6qfjn.txt	./txt/cord-301399-s2i6qfjn.txt
