S2 Ep2211: LIVE LIFE BETTER Poison Prevention Tips & New Research

In this episode of Live Life Better, host Nanette Wiser talks about a new study that ranks as the single biggest cause of preventable death in the United States, killing 75,761 Americans in 2024... around 208 people a day. It is 1.8 times deadlier than motor vehicle crashes and 1.6 times deadlier than falls. Poisoning has held the top spot since 2013, driven by a drug overdose crisis that shows no sign of ending. Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl caused 45,917 of those deaths. Opioids overall caused 51,088. A recent study revealed: •  Poisoning caused 75,761 preventable deaths in 2024 - more than motor vehicle crashes (42,789) and falls (48,308) combined •  Synthetic opioids including fentanyl caused 45,917 deaths; all opioids combined caused 51,088 •  Poisoning has been the leading cause of preventable death in the US every year since 2013 Why This Matters Now For much of the 20th century, motor vehicle crashes led the preventable death list. Poisoning took over in 2013 and has not looked back. The gap between poisoning (75,761) and falls (48,308) (the second-ranked cause) is 27,453 lives a year. Against motor vehicle crashes (42,789), the margin is 32,972. Poisoning does not slightly lead the list. It dominates it.   The overdose crisis reaches every working-age group. Poisoning was the leading cause of preventable death for people aged between 25 and 34, 35 and 44, 45 and 54, and 55 and 64. In West Virginia, preventable injury death rates reached 138.2 per 100,000 for adults aged between 35 and 39, and 151.3 for those aged between 40 and 44 - showing how concentrated the toll is in the communities hardest hit. The picture has improved slightly. Poisoning deaths fell 24% in 2024, linked to expanded naloxone access and changes in the illicit drug supply. That drop was the main driver of the overall 11.3% fall in preventable deaths recorded that year. But 75,761 deaths still represent nearly 1.8 times the pre-pandemic baseline, and the 2024 age-adjusted preventable death rate of 52.1 per 100,000 remains well above the 1992 historic low of 34.
