Years of life lost to COVID-19 in 81 countries

Hector Pifarre i Arolas et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant loss of years of life due to COVID-19 globally, especially in heavily affected countries. The majority of these lost years are from deaths under 75 years old, particularly those under 55, with men losing 45% more life years than women. These findings emphasize the need for policies that protect vulnerable demographics with the highest loss of life-years.

Beyond deaths per capita: comparative COVID-19 mortality indicators

Patrick Heuveline et al.

Summary: This article discusses various measures based on the number of COVID-19 deaths for comparisons over time and across populations. Results show different outcomes after standardization, with certain regions in Italy, Spain, and the USA having the highest unstandardized rates, while regions in Mexico and Peru have the highest standardized rates. Indirect standardization proves to be a valid alternative for adjusting international comparisons, showing substantial reductions in life expectancies for several populations in 2020.
