By Dr. Chinta SidharthanJun 5 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Scientific Reports Journal, researchers compared the expected and actual changes in life expectancy from 2019 to 2020 to assess the coronavirus disease 2019 -related loss of life expectancy in 27 countries.
Furthermore, the effect of COVID-19 on various other comorbidities and inconsistencies in classifying COVID-19-related deaths make it challenging to estimate the COVID-19 mortality rates accurately. About the study In the present study, the researchers used an improved method for assessing the loss of life expectancy due to COVID-19 while considering the effects of profound and unexpected events on changes in mortality rates.
Life tables were constructed for all 27 countries using the mortality data, and life expectancies were estimated for ages 15 and 65 for both sexes since 15 is a significant age in terms of fertility and participation in the labor force, and 65 years is considered the minimum age to be defined as elderly.
