In the first section of Volume 2, toxicological factors affecting
nutritional status are discussed. Medications and alcohol may
affect nutritional status. Section 2 provides a discussion of
nutrition-related diseases which occur more frequently among the
elderly. Cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease
and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of death in the
U.S. The relative importance of cardiovascular diseases, in terms
of all deaths for the given age group, rises steadily with age. The
death rate from these diseases is 28% for the middle age group (35
to 44) and is 69% for the old age group (age 75 and above. This
reflects the continued progression of artherosclerosis with aging.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. The death
rate from cancer also rises steadily with age. The death rate from
diabetes mellitus increases progressively with age and more rapidly
after the age of 45. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is 0.23%
under age 25 and 6.2% over 45.
