There were 23 deaths with cancer listed as the underlying cause reported in North Dakota during the week ending July 30, 2022, a 15% increase over the previous week, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In the week ending July 30, 2022, there were 123 deaths in the state. 17.9% of deaths were caused by heart disease, 18.7% were from cancer and 8.1% were from COVID-19.

Studies show doctors and medical examiners may underreport Alzheimer's disease and dementia-related conditions as the underlying cause of death on death certificates, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Once infected, older adults with dementia are likely to develop a more severe and dangerous illness. The diseases which make an older adult more vulnerable to COVID-19 are age-associated chronic conditions, according to the Bright Focus Foundation.
