Course: Association Between Life Expectancy at Age 60 Years Before the COVID-19 Pandemic and Excess Mortality During the Pandemic in Aging Countries

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-10-19

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with approximately 15 million excess deaths. Excess mortality (EM) from all causes per 100,000 population members in each country varied from negative values to more than 300 deaths. Older age is one of the factors associated with the greatest increase in risk of COVID-19 deaths, suggesting that EM is likely to be high in aging countries. However, although Japan has the highest aging ratio in the world, it was able to keep EM low during the pandemic. To investigate this contradiction, we explored associations of health, well-being, population, and economic factors before the pandemic with EM during the pandemic.
