Irr Canada, the major causes of death in the under-65 age group are heart disease, cancer; and various forms of accidents -- especially those involving motor vehicles. To-, gether, these account for more :than half of all premature mortalities. • But mortality patterns vary sig.-. nificantly,betWeen men and women, and .in each age group. For example, among people aged between 15 and 30, accidentg, and suicide account for more than three- quarters of all deaths; heart disease doesn't begin to show up as a factor in male mortality. until 30-Plus, but accounts for One-quarter Of deaths in men between 40 and 44, Moving to a fairly constant 35 per cent 'in the over-50s.

And of the 157;272 deaths i'n Canada in 1,971 (the' latest year for which figures are available) well over half were among' those who had lived out their biblical three score years and 10, A closer look at' the 'statistics shows that much early' mortality and :disease results from lifestyle rather than With such, factors as heredity or infection: cancers at- tribuiable to smoking; heart disease accelerated by iipctivity, over, . weight Or fatty diets ...' In other words, the qtiality of 11 in old age has quite a lot to do wi health• habits acquired earlier life. So it's well worth preparing , for retirement long before it hap- pens, and :not only by developing sensible, patterns of daily living but by cultivating "lifetime" interests and hobbies 7-- such as rearig or gardening — that will enrich, the later yeah. Simply stated, the aging process occurs mainly through arterioscle, rosis — hardening of the arteries: Some peopie are senile at 65, while others at 90 may not be.
