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.
