Dementia gender assocation


From a table of the combined top-10 of the male and female cause of death by percentage in England and Wales from the ONS 2010 annual mortality report, it can be seen that the women are much more likely to be registered with Dementia as their "final cause of death" @todo



I am interested to know how much of the high number of registered Dementia deaths for women is a result of the age-gender distribution of the population, and how much is from direct gender specific factors.
