Impact of Leading Causes of Death

Impact of Leading Causes of Death:  An analysis of deaths from leading causes suggests that the DuPage population, on average, is less susceptible to premature death from these leading causes.  However, there are disparities for racial and ethnic minorities, and some of these disparities are greater in DuPage than for the rest of Illinois.  Although more information is needed to determine the specific causes of these disparities, strategies that focus on access to medical care and healthy lifestyle choices are recommended.
