A recent analysis in England examined the risk of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 deaths among adults who received booster COVID-19 vaccinations. The study looked at sociodemographic factors and health conditions from September 2022 to April 2023. Key findings include:
- Age: Older adults had a significantly higher risk of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 death.
- Gender: Women had a lower risk of both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 death compared to men.
- Body weight: Being morbidly obese or underweight increased the risk of death.
- Health conditions: Several conditions, such as learning disabilities, cancer, and neurological diseases, were associated with an elevated risk of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 death.
