Diabetes kills men at a slightly lowerrate than unintentional injury.
But bird flu and ebola? Well, they don’t even make the list.
So let’s get back to heart disease and cancer.
![Page 23: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The big di�erence between heart disease and cancer is this:
![Page 24: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The big di�erence between heart disease and cancer is this:
Most cancers are unavoidable.Or, to be more precise, the exact causes ofmost cancers are not known at this time.
![Page 25: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The big di�erence between heart disease and cancer is this:
Most cancers are unavoidable.Or, to be more precise, the exact causes ofmost cancers are not known at this time.
Most heart disease, on the other hand, is known to be
highly avoidable.
![Page 26: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The type of heart disease that is not avoidable isCongenital Heart Disease (CHD),
which is the most common birth defect.
![Page 27: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The type of heart disease that is not avoidable isCongenital Heart Disease (CHD),
which is the most common birth defect.
The rate of occurrence of CHD is 0.8% of the population.That’s 8 in 1,000 people.
![Page 28: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The type of heart disease that is not avoidable isCongenital Heart Disease (CHD),
which is the most common birth defect.
The rate of occurrence of CHD is 0.8% of the population.That’s 8 in 1,000 people.
Cardiomyopathy—or Enlarged Heart Syndrome—is alsounavoidable for the most part, but its numbers are small.

So, if less than 1% of fatal cases of heart diseaseare entirely unavoidable, that means more than99% of heart disease cases are mostly avoidable.
![Page 30: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
So, if less than 1% of fatal cases of heart diseaseare entirely unavoidable, that means more than99% of heart disease cases are mostly avoidable.
And that means most heart disease hasat least something to do with behavior.
![Page 31: This Disease Kills More Men Than Cancer](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052602/55c44815bb61eb83378b462b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
