| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Every day people die for a host of different reasons and all too often those reasons are preventable. One function of the World Health Organization is to detail the leading causes of preventable death in the world so that citizens of the world can be better educated about the things they do in their daily lives to make necessary changes for healthy living. In this book, read about the things people die of every year that could have been prevented; things like obesity, high blood pressure and cholesterol, smoking, drinking alcohol, and more. Learn about these forms of preventable death and ask yourself if you're at risk.
