Dementias are rarely considered to be a main cause of death; therefore there are only few studies on Alzheimer's mortality covering long periods.
To describe mortality from Alzheimer's disease in México for the period from 1980 to 2014.
Cross-sectional study where, with official mortality data in Mexico according to codes 331.0 and G30, respectively, of the 9 and 10 revisions of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, crude and standardized Alzheimer's disease mortality rates were obtained, both nationally and by states.
From almost being inexistent, deaths from Alzheimer's disease went to a rate of 65.12 per 1000 females and 43.66 per 1000 males in the 2010-2014 five-year period. Throughout the study period, the age group with highest mortality rates for this cause were those older than 80 years, with 0.29 per 100,000 population in 1980-1984 and 55.02 in 100,000 in the 2010-2014 period. The region with the highest mortality was the northwest, with rates higher than 2.28 per 100,000 population.
Mortality from Alzheimer's disease is a public health problem in Mexico with a growing trend, especially among women and older adults. Early diagnostic measures and opportune treatment are required in primary care in order to reduce this problem.
痴呆症很少被视为主要死因；因此，关于阿尔茨海默病死亡率的长期研究很少。
描述1980年至2014年期间墨西哥阿尔茨海默病的死亡率。
横断面研究，根据《国际疾病和相关健康问题统计分类》第9版和第10版的代码331.0和G30，利用墨西哥官方死亡率数据，获得全国和各州阿尔茨海默病的粗死亡率和标准化死亡率。
从几乎不存在，阿尔茨海默病死亡人数在2010 - 2014年五年期间达到每1000名女性65.12例、每1000名男性43.66例的比率。在整个研究期间，该病因死亡率最高的年龄组是80岁以上人群，1980 - 1984年每10万人口中有0.29例，2010 - 2014年每10万人口中有55.02例。死亡率最高的地区是西北部，每10万人口的死亡率高于2.28例。
阿尔茨海默病死亡率在墨西哥是一个公共卫生问题，且呈上升趋势，尤其是在女性和老年人中。初级保健需要采取早期诊断措施和及时治疗，以减少这一问题。
