Therefore, there are striking differences between the top 5 causes of death in 2022 and 2000. Dementia has become the most common cause of death in 2022, at the expense of cardiovascular disease.

Coronary heart disease and COVID-19 are new in the top 5, but these causes of death are temporary in nature.
In general, mortality from cardiovascular diseases and cancer has decreased in the Netherlands in recent years. This is due to improved medical care and increased attention to a healthy lifestyle.
