Listed belw are the tp leading causes f disability in the U.S. accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO), ranked frm highest t lwest based n a measured unit called disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) that represents the ttal number f years lst t illness, disability, r premature death. 1. Neurpsychiatric Disrders (18.7 DALYs) Mental and Behaviral Disrders (13.6 DALYs) Addictins t drugs, alchl, and medicatins Eating Disrders, such as anrexia and bulimia Md Disrders, including biplar disrder and depressin Sleep Disrders, such as insmnia It s imprtant that treatment be sught and maintained, as many mental and behaviral disrders may lead t wrsening symptms and risky behavirs when left untreated.

2 Neurlgical Disrders (5.1 DALYs) Neurlgical disrders are diseases f the brain, spine, and the nerves that cnnect them. These include ALS, Parkinsn s disease, multiple sclersis, epilepsy, and strke. Because sme neurlgical disrders may be prgressive, meaning they can wrsen with time, clse mnitring and medical care is essential t a persn s verall wellbeing. 2. Cardivascular and Circulatry Diseases (16.8 DALYs) These include heart disease, heart attacks, ischemic strke (the mst cmmn type), heart failure, and arrhythmias. Heart diseases are very preventable. Yu can start by knwing yur bld pressure and keeping it under cntrl, exercising regularly, quitting smking, and eating lts f fruits and vegetables t maintain a healthy weight. 3. Neplasms (15.1 DALYs) Neplasms are essentially tumrs (abnrmal grwth f tissue) that frm in sme part f the bdy. Sme are benign (nn-cancerus) and thers are malignant (cancerus). Sme cancers can be screened thrugh rutine exams such as mammgrams r clnscpies; thers may be harder t detect and require bldwrk r ther tests. That s why it s imprtant t visit yur dctr regularly and nt miss any cancer preventin screenings recmmended by yur physician. Page 2 f 6

3 4. Musculskeletal Disrders (11.8 DALYs) These range frm back pain that becmes chrnic, t genetic disrders that affect the spine r muscles, t amputatins that may impair a persn s ability t wrk r perfrm daily functins. Start stretching and exercising regularly, and make sure yur wrkstatin is ergnmic t prevent any wrk-related injuries. Dn t ignre pain! Pain is yur bdy s way f signaling that smething is wrng. Visit a medical care prfessinal that will help determine the cause f yur discmfrt, as well as prvide yu with ways in which yu can prevent further injury. 5. Diabetes, Urgenital, Bld, and Endcrine Disease (8.0 DALYs) Of these, the mst cmmn in the U.S. is diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes means yur bld glucse, r bld sugar, levels are t high. Fr thse with unmanaged r severe diabetes, there is an increased risk f blindness, renal failure, and amputatin. Begin eating healthier and managing yur weight.

Self-harm and Interpersnal Vilence (3.1 DALYs) Self-directed vilence r injury, such as cutting, severe drinking, r attempted suicide, can lead t disabling and even deadly cnsequences. Unfrtunately, peple with chrnic illness r disabilities are even mre at risk f engaging in self-harm activities.
