The President's Report
Intro by Past President, Liana Lianov, MD, MPH:
I am honored to introduce and welcome David Katz as our new ACLM President. I am certain David will advance our organization's visibility and standing in the broader medical community, as well as expand awareness and engagement in the public's eye about lifestyle medicine. Under his leadership, we can promote, as he likes to say, the need for "lifestyle in medicine" and "lifestyle as medicine." Welcome, David!
Health Care: From Reform, to Revolution
David L. Katz, MD, MPH
Heart disease is not the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States. Cancer, stroke, pulmonary disease, diabetes, and dementia are not the other leading causes of early mortality and/or chronic malady either.
Don't get me wrong- these are the very diseases immediately responsible for an enormous loss of years from life, and an even greater loss of life from years. In that context, heart disease is indeed the most common immediate precipitant of early death among women and men alike. Cancer, stroke, and diabetes do indeed follow close behind. It's just that these diseases aren't really causes. They are effects.
We got this message loud, clear, and first- at least in the modern era- in what really should have been a culture-changing research paper published in JAMA in 1993 entitled 'Actual Causes of Death in the United States.' In that analysis, two leading epidemiologists, Drs. William Foege and J. Michael McGinnis, looked into the factors that accounted for the chronic diseases and other insults that immediately preceded premature deaths. When they were done crunching numbers, they had a list of ten factors that accounted for almost all of the premature deaths in our country every year.
Let's digress to note we cannot 'prevent' death. But what makes death tragic is not that it happens- we are all mortal- but that it happens too soon. And even worse, that it happens after a long period of illness drains away vitality, capacity, and the pleasure of living. Chronic disease can produce a long, lingering twilight of quasi-living, before adding to that injury the insult of a premature death. And that, we can prevent. We can preserve vitality, and we can postpone death to its rightful time, at the end of our full life expectancy.
