Read the information at the link below to see the leading causes of death in the U.S.

Paragraph I: Introduction (what you chose, a description of the condition, and why you chose it).
Paragraph II: What are the risk factors for this condition - be sure to include the lifestyle behaviors that increase risk as well as any uncontrollable risk factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and heredity.
Paragraph III: What are the prevention strategies for lowering the risk for this condition? Be sure to include lifestyle strategies as well as medical support (assessment, monitoring, treatment, medication, etc.).
