According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accidents are the leading cause of death for young adults aged 25-44 years old. This includes motor vehicle accidents, unintentional drug overdoses, falls, drowning, and other accidents. While suicide and homicide are also significant causes of death for young adults, they are not as statistically prevalent as accidents. Cancer is more common in older age groups.
