Risk Charts
     
If you're a 55 year-old male who has never smoked, how likely is it you will die from heart disease over the next 10 years? From prostate cancer? Pneumonia? We have created charts to provide patients with information - based on actual records - of their risk of death. We used Census data and records from the National Center for Health Statistics to calculate age- and sex-specific death rates. In addition, we broke out the rates for smokers vs. non-smokers.
