Regional, demographic and temporal trends in anemia and malignant cancer-related mortality in U.S. older adults: a nationwide CDC WONDER analysis (1999–2020)

Among adults aged ≥65, anemia and malignancy-related mortality declined until 2017 but increased sharply through 2020, with highest rates in males, Black individuals, and nonmetropolitan/Midwestern residents. Declines were seen in colorectal, gastric, and prostate cancers, while other cancers remained stable, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce disparities.

Abstract

Among adults aged ≥65, anemia and malignancy-related mortality declined until 2017 but increased sharply through 2020, with highest rates in males, Black individuals, and nonmetropolitan/Midwestern residents. Declines were seen in colorectal, gastric, and prostate cancers, while other cancers remained stable, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce disparities.
