The leading cause of death from infection in Americans older than 65 years of age is respiratory infections.

<h3>What is the leading cause of death in individuals aged 65 or older?</h3>

Over the previous 20 years, heart disease and cancer have been the two main causes of death for people 65 and older, together accounting for almost a million deaths in 2002. Heart disease, including heart attacks and chronic ischemic heart disease, was to blame for close to one-third of all fatalities in older people.

Respiratory infections are the leading cause of death infection in the elderly. Together, pneumonia and influenza constitute the seventh-leading cause of death in the US and the fifth-leading cause of death for people over 65. (National Vital Statistics Report, 2001). Respiratory infections are the main reason for infection-related deaths in people over 65 in the United States.

Vika [28.1K]

This calming reaction is due to the action of Bridge's <u>"Parasympathetic nervous system".</u>


The parasympathetic nervous system, or PSNS, is a piece of the nervous system. The nervous system sends signs to and from various body parts by means of nerves. The PSNS is in charge of all the substantial exercises that happen when a creature is very still. Hence, the PSNS is known as the "rest and digest" some portion of the sensory system. These activities can incorporate processing sustenance, discharging waste, crying, salivating, or winding up sexually stimulated. The partner of the PSNS is the thoughtful sensory system (SNS), which is in charge of "fight or flight" exercises that happen when a creature is choosing to battle another or escape.

How do climate and vegetation differ across the United States
lubasha [3.4K]
There are different climates and therefore the vegetation are different depending on where the climates are. Tundra for example is prominent in the northern state of Alaska, which is marked by treeless areas and low growing flora like grasses and some flowers. Arizona where I live is both mountainous and desert, so vegetation needs to be able to store and rely on less water, so there are a lot of Cacti.

I'm sure you can find a ton of other examples.
