Author: Xuan Huang 2022-12-03

Introduction

Older people have higher rates of comorbidities and may experience more inflammatory responses. Therefore,the COVID-19 deaths proportion of total deaths for the elderly will be higher than the younger. Herein, we aimed to explore the association between age and the deaths involving COVID-19.
