Data were weighted by age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, household income, and region to reflect the composition of the US population of women ≥25 years of age who speak English according to distributions reported in the US Census Bureau’s March 2018 Current Population Survey.11 LCOD indicates leading cause of death; NH, non-Hispanic; and OR, odds ratio.
ORs interpreted as likelihood of identifying the cause of death as the LCOD in 2019 compared with 2009 (eg, the referent group is the prevalence in 2009).
Adjusted models include the following covariates: age (except in models stratified by age), race/ethnicity (except in models stratified by race/ethnicity), educational attainment, household income, history of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes mellitus (hypertension not available in 2009).
