Age, gender, and socioeconomic risk factors are related to coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths. Advanced age is the major
risk factor for CHD deaths. Although CHD is the leading cause of death in women, men have a higher CHD death rate than women
in all age groups. In Utah, non-Hispanic Whites have a higher CHD death rate than any other racial or ethnic group. However,
racial and ethnic minorities die from CHD at younger average ages.
