Cause-of-death ranking Defined
The following is in context to Aging, because it's common for a single word to have multiple meanings you will find additional research links near the bottom of the page.
"The cause-of-death ranking for adults is based on the List of 113 Selected Causes of Death. The top-ranking causes determine the leading causes of death. Certain causes on the tabulation lists are not ranked if, for example, the category title represents a group title (such as “Major cardiovascular diseases” and “Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified”) or the category title begins with the words “Other” and “All other.” In addition when a title that represents a subtotal (such as “Malignant neoplasm”) is ranked, its component parts are not ranked. Causes that are tied receive the same rank; the next cause is assigned the rank it would have received had the lower-ranked causes not been tied ( i.e., they skip a rank)."
