What is the most common cause of premature death in childhood?

  1. Accidents

  2. Heart disease

  3. Cancer

  4. Respiratory Infections

The correct answer is: Respiratory Infections

Respiratory infections are the most common cause of premature death in childhood because children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses. Additionally, respiratory infections can quickly become severe and life-threatening if not treated promptly. While accidents and heart disease do occur in childhood, they are not as prevalent as respiratory infections. Cancer is also a serious concern for children, but it is not the most common cause of premature death.
