We compared the ranking of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) among the leading causes of death (LCODs) between those according to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) lists by sex.
The number of deaths in each LCOD category was obtained from CDC WONDER.
According to the WHO list, ADRD was the second LCOD from 2005 to 2013, the first from 2014 to 2020, and the third in 2021, respectively, for women and was the second in 2018 and 2019, the third in 2020, and the fourth in 2021, respectively, for men. According to the NCHS list, Alzheimer's disease was the fourth in 2019 and 2020 for women and was the seventh from 2016 to 2019 for men.
The ranking of ADRD among the LCODs according to the WHO list was higher than those according to the NCHS list.
我们比较了美国国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）和世界卫生组织（WHO）列出的按性别划分的主要死因（LCODs）中阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症（ADRD）的排名。
从疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的WONDER获取每个LCOD类别中的死亡人数。
根据WHO的列表，2005年至2013年ADRD是女性的第二大主要死因，2014年至2020年是第一大主要死因，2021年是第三大主要死因；而对于男性，ADRD在2018年和2019年是第二大主要死因，2020年是第三大主要死因，2021年是第四大主要死因。根据NCHS的列表，2019年和2020年阿尔茨海默病是女性的第四大主要死因，2016年至2019年是男性的第七大主要死因。
根据WHO列表，ADRD在LCODs中的排名高于根据NCHS列表的排名。
