CONTEXT Modifiable behavioral risk factors are leading causes of mortality in the United States. [...] Key MethodDESIGN Comprehensive MEDLINE search of English-language articles that identified epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory studies linking risk behaviors and mortality. The search was initially restricted to articles published during or after 1990, but we later included relevant articles published in 1980 to December 31, 2002. Prevalence and relative risk were identified during the literature search…Expand

Preventable causes of death in Wisconsin, 2004.
TLDR
Using state vital statistics data and findings from national studies, a report on the trends in the preventable causes of death in Wisconsin from 1992 to 2004 finds that nearly half of all deaths in Wisconsin are due to preventable Causes. Expand
Estimated deaths attributable to social factors in the United States.
TLDR
The estimated number of deaths attributable to social factors in the United States is comparable to the number attributed to pathophysiological and behavioral causes and argues for a broader public health conceptualization of the causes of mortality and an expansive policy approach that considers how social factors can be addressed to improve the health of populations. Expand
Actual causes of death in Alaska
TLDR
This updated methodology reveals that overweight/physical inactivity was the leading cause of death in Alaska, followed closely by smoking, both highlighting disparities and underscoring prevention needs. Expand
The State of US Health, 1990-2016: Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Among US States
TLDR
There are wide differences in the burden of disease at the state level and specific diseases and risk factors, such as drug use disorders, high BMI, poor diet, high fasting plasma glucose level, and alcohol use disorders are increasing and warrant increased attention. Expand
Estimating Smoking-Attributable Mortality in the United States
TLDR
This work calculates smoking-attributable fractions for the 50 states and the United States as a whole in 2004, and estimates the contribution of smoking to the high adult mortality of the southern states and suggests that the coefficients are suitable for calculating smoking-ATTributable mortality in contexts with relatively mature epidemics of cigarette smoking. Expand
Factors responsible for mortality variation in the United States: A latent variable analysis
TLDR
The majority of interstate variation in mortality among white working-age adults in the United States is associated with a combination of smoking and obesity, substance abuse and rural/urban residence. Expand
Contribution of Excessive Alcohol Consumption to Deaths and Years of Potential Life Lost in the United States
TLDR
Excessive drinking was responsible for 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults in the United States and AAD rates vary across states, but excessive drinking remains a leading cause of premature mortality nationwide. Expand
Preventing deaths in the Canadian military.
TLDR
Public attention focuses on combat fatalities, yet most military members die from other causes, and avoiding future deaths requires targeting suicide, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Expand
Estimating Benefits of Past, Current, and Future Reductions in Smoking Rates Using a Comprehensive Model With Competing Causes of Death
TLDR
It is shown that past smoking reduction efforts will translate into further increases in life expectancy in the coming years, and a dynamic individual-level model with multiple causes of death supports assessment of the delayed benefits of improved tobacco-use control efforts. Expand
Estimating alcohol-related premature mortality in san francisco: use of population-attributable fractions from the global burden of disease study
TLDR
Alcohol consumption is a major contributor to premature mortality in San Francisco, especially among males, and interventions to avert alcohol-related harm should be taken at the population level and deserve the same attention that is given to other major risk factors, such as smoking or obesity.

Contribution of major diseases to disparities in mortality.
TLDR
Although many conditions contribute to socioeconomic and racial disparities in potential life-years lost, a few conditions account for most of these disparities - smoking-related diseases in the case of mortality among persons with fewer years of education, and hypertension, HIV, diabetes mellitus, and trauma among black persons.
