Diarrhea and malnutrition will be the top two. Current major COD like heart disease and diabetes will fall off rapidly in the face of food shortages curing gluttony.

90% of the people with heart and lung infirmity will die inside 3 years without electricity or modern medicine, chronic diseases, particularly those which effect diet will see a huge die out over 5 years maybe half die in a year, most of the deaths in any SHTF would be the infirm being cut off from electricity, medicine, food and water, if you took regular access to those 30 million americans would die in 3 months and that's a low estimate.

Pay heed, the reason a boogaloo has not come is because 60% of the US citizenry have a chronic disease and 40% have two or more, one serious chronic condition is bad enough but 2 or 3 and it takes all your time effort and money to manage that shit, the 30 million figure, 10% of the population are those with 5 chronic conditions or more.

America is too sick to risk access to basic needs, the government knows this and that is why they loathe physical fitness.

Asthma might be the biggest single killer, poor air quality from wood fires for heat and lungs that fall apart in the cold would see most asthmatics die in the first winter, all of those with a second chronic disease would likely also die.

It's not just physical infirmity, depressives and anxious would not be able to survive in most cases, depressives have a dysfunctional reward circuit and would not have what it takes to cope even if they wanted to live, their best best is joining a rigid hierarchy that can direct them for their own good if they want to live but wont kill or abandon them as their depression begins to express as low competency. Some depressives would just be cured though I suspect. The anxious, can be divided, those who suffer regular panic attacks and those who do not. The former have neurological changes to their amygdala which means they can't actually adapt out of panic attacks they will become raving mad men and destroy morale wherever they go, the later will either see their anxious natures rewarded and overcome or they will buckle likely taking others down around them.

After 2 years most of the people mentioned above will have died, and the vast majority will be completely gone in another 3 so sometime between years 2 and 5 infection and exposure will eclipse the infirmity based deaths. Starvation will probably remain in the top 10 for those five years

In a civil war that evolves to total war with nukes and all, direct victims of war would be eclipsed by the mass dying of the infirm as a consequence of the conflict.

We should be using all our power to make a parallel culture designed to survive the decline of the american empire and the west because if we get there soon we'll be in a position to fight at scale if we get there too late that culture would survive and dominate the demography 2-5 generations later. The amish are a good model but we need to have more accepting but rationally and religiously limited technology.

Healthy people homesteading can be great if you have a spouse already but their kids are gonna end up deprived of options for partners if they go too far afield.

If an EMP hit north america, some sort of coronal mass ejection let's say, I suspect 300 million dead on the continent in five years and a billion dead on the rest of the planet in the same time.
