Also, the risk from heart disease is about 1 in 5 or roughly 19% as you said. The figure also shows that people tend to overstate some risks while understating others that are much more prevalent.

The greatest health risk is of course heart disease which many tend to overlook. While one person might have died due to unfortunate circumstance in a plane, a person is still a thousands time more likely to die from a heart attack or coronary artery disease.
