"...Interestingly, the leading causes of death among Americans can vary quite a bit based on race, age, and gender.
Men face a shorter average life expectancy than women, yet a greater percentage of female deaths are attributed to stroke.
Not surprisingly, unintentional injuries rank as the top cause of death in younger men, through the 35- to 44-year-old age group.Homicide ranks higher as the cause of death for Black and Hispanic men over other races, and Asian or Pacific Islander males see higher rates of stroke-related deaths, according to 2011 data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
For American Indian or Alaska Native men, suicide ranks higher than the average."
