According to the National Institute on Aging, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both the 75-to-84 and 85-and-over age groups. Cancer and kidney disease are also common causes of death, but not as prevalent as cardiovascular disease. Hypertension, although a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is not a leading cause of death on its own.
