Know Your Chances: Interactive Risk Charts to Put Cancer in Context
Risk charts present these basic facts by showing the chance of dying from a variety of cancer and other diseases over specific time frames. Because age, sex and race are so important in determining your chances, the charts let you account for these factors. While other factors make an important difference (like smoking or having a serious disease run in your family), the numbers from the charts will get you into the right ballpark.

"The authors highlighted 12 risk factors with strong evidence of being causally related to dementia onset: low education, hearing loss, traumatic brain injury (TBI), hypertension, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, smoking, depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, diabetes, and air pollution. Using risk ratios from meta-analyses and global prevalence estimates of each risk factor, the authors of the report estimated that up to 40% of dementia cases worldwide were associated with these 12 risk factors."

AGE WELL: On average, as this chart reveals, chronic diseases increase with aging, which makes the elderly more susceptible to COVID-19. This deadly combination is a stark reminder, again, of doing our best to stay healthy.
