This chart is on age group and race factors, and it correlates to Alzheimer related deaths. Adults over 65 have a greater susceptibility to Alzheimer's the chart reflects the age correlation. African Americans have an overall significantly greater chance of receiving Alzheimer's and dying from it. In this chart, people over 85 have far greater chances of dying from Alzheimer's.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics. Underlying Cause of Death 1999-2015 on CDC WONDER Online Database, released December, 2016.

Accessed at http://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10.html on Apr 24, 2017 9:34:15 AM This chart is on Alzheimer's deaths grouping by race and gender. Women are twice as likely to get Alzheimer's, and this chart reflects that. White women have a significantly greater chance of getting Alzheimer's and dying form it. In this chart, it makes it look like women are more than twice as likely than men to get Alzheimer's.
The following map displays female mortality rates due to Alzheimer's Disease. In this figure, the deaths are caused by levels of nutrition available nationwide. The numbers represent the amount of females who passed. As on can see, Alzheimer's has a larger affect on women because the gene that must be mutated for the disease to develop, the ApoE-4 gene, is more common in females; researchers do not yet have the exact explanation as to why this is true.
