Introduction

U.S. Death Statistics: The death rate in the United States reflects various factors such as health issues, lifestyle changes, and other social factors that impact people's lives. Life expectancy has generally improved due to advancements in American healthcare, but several causes of death remain significant, including heart disease, cancer, and accidents. The opioid crisis, along with mental health challenges like suicide, also adds to the national death rate.

The COVID-19 pandemic further influenced the death statistics, showing the importance of public health measures. As the population is growing enormously, thus people may pass away from age-related conditions, highlighting the need for better healthcare access and preventive measures to improve overall well-being
