The paper categorized deaths into various causes, with a concerning trend emerging regarding “other natural causes of death.” In 2023, deaths attributed to this category soared to three times what would have been expected based on previous trends. While the specific conditions categorized under “other natural causes” were not detailed, potential causes may include heart attacks, brain hemorrhages, and liver failures—common issues typically associated with older age.
The failure of the paper to consider or mention iatrogenic (treatment-induced) causes of death raises eyebrows. Given the tumultuous healthcare landscape of recent years, this oversight signals a possible gap in the research, failing to acknowledge the potential impact of medical interventions on mortality rates.
