ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the states according to whether the majority of voters chose Donald Trump or Clinton and perform bivariate regressions of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mortality in the 65–74 age range with the other health indices in database, the two systems of states show little resemblance. The Trump system yields associations with a large number of the health markers ranging from infant and child mortality to risk behaviors to the traditional big killers such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cerebrovascular disease. The socioeconomic (SE) structure and functioning of the Trump states tightly entrained AD mortality dynamics in this age range. The linkages between SE factors and AD mortality 75–84 in the Clinton set of states are much looser than in the Trump set of states. The population of the Trump states staggers under the weight of a large number of serious public health problems that impair life expectancy and quality of life.
