most of the readers of my blog live in arkansas texas
lousiana oklahoma calfornia colorado
although most all of the states have someone that reads this blog
we in the alzheimers world
know that the deaths from alzheimers are increasing
real fast each year
the numbers have now gone from the 6th leading cause of
death in the united states to
the 4th leading cause of death
why
the disease is being more recognized and not as stigmatized
sort of like cancer was years ago
more death certificates are having the diagnosis added
more folks are getting older
its easier to diagnose folks now a days than in the past
with the scans and spinal fluid tests and memory tests available
even with all these
the numbers still are climbing
so here are the counties in each of the above states
with the most deaths from alzheimers disease
ill let you look at your own state and wonder
why that county has the highest death rate from alzheimers disease
arkansas polk county 118.7 per 100000
california amador county 78.93 per 100000
colorado otero county 97.36 per 100000
louisiana madison parish 118.21 per 100000
oklahoma pittsburgh country 53.8 per 100000
texas young county 136.24 per 100000
the state with the highest death rate from alzheimers
south dakota walworth county 272.18 per 100000
the state with the lowest death rate from alzheimers
hawaii honolulu county 24.6 per 100000
here is a link to look up any state to see what county
has the highest death rate from alzheimers disease
my thoughts on the high and low numbers
difference in race make up of the state
health care
state reporting accuracy
isolated populations
a younger population
i guess the impression i want to leave
is that the numbers are climbing
will continue to climb
unless we come up with a way to treat the disease
a way to slow the disease down
you can help you know
