Title: How many are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease? Rapid global, regional and national estimates for 2020 Document date: 2020_4_22
ID: czuq8rw5_30
Snippet: Some countries have also considered older age as proxy for frailty and increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness. Although frailty correlates much more closely with mortality than chronological age, there is a well-established non-linear association between increasing age and frailty. 19 We therefore calculated the number of individuals without an underlying condition that could be considered at-risk because of their age, using age thresholds ran.....
Document: Some countries have also considered older age as proxy for frailty and increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness. Although frailty correlates much more closely with mortality than chronological age, there is a well-established non-linear association between increasing age and frailty. 19 We therefore calculated the number of individuals without an underlying condition that could be considered at-risk because of their age, using age thresholds ranging from 50-70 years. All age thresholds were evaluated in all regions. To calculate the total number at increased risk for different age thresholds, we added the number of older individuals without underlying conditions to our earlier estimates of the number of individuals with at least one underlying condition.
