In 1900, pneumonia and influenza were the leading causes of death, with around 202 deaths per 100,000 population, the top 3 causes of death were infectious diseases—pneumonia and flu, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections (a fourth infectious disease, diphtheria, was the 10th leading cause of death).
