I am trying find a table (on the Internet) that details at least the first few hundred disease conditions (ranked in descending order both my incidence and by being or contributing to the cause of death) in the U.S? If the table could reflect risk more specifically to my category (e.g. white, 60-year-old middle class male with no history of smoking or drinking and not much overweight), that would be fantastic! |
