What do you think will be the leading causes of death in the future?

[Tyler_JC]

Homicide has never been the leading cause of death in a country (except, perhaps, for Rwanda in 1994).

The current US homicide rate is 5 per 100,000.
The current US death rate is 838 per 100,000.

I assume that one would expect the US death rate to increase Post Peak.

So you're assuming a 10,000%+ increase in homicides.

I have been searching everywhere and I can't seem to find a website that explains the leading cause of death among people 23-26. Any help??
