Title: Population age structure only partially explains the large number of COVID-19 deaths at the oldest ages

    Snippet: Italy has the second oldest population the world (4) and the oldest in Europe but we observe proportionately fewer deaths there from COVID-19 at the older ages (80+ and 90+) than either Spain, France or the Netherlands even though Italy has a larger population at those ages. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of the Netherlands where the population difference to Italy at ages above age 80 is in the millions. Therefore, age struct.....
    Document: Italy has the second oldest population the world (4) and the oldest in Europe but we observe proportionately fewer deaths there from COVID-19 at the older ages (80+ and 90+) than either Spain, France or the Netherlands even though Italy has a larger population at those ages. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of the Netherlands where the population difference to Italy at ages above age 80 is in the millions. Therefore, age structure is only partially predictive of the deaths at older ages. Explanations have previously been attributed to variations in the definition of COVID-19 related deaths (1), testing strategies (1) and transmission pathways (3).
