Other Language Versions
Abstract
A variety of predisposing factors have been associated with illness and death from COVID-19. Estimating the size of high-risk populations for COVID-19 death in the Americas allows to understand the distribution of risks associated with these factors providing opportunities for targeting interventions. This analysis estimates the percentage of population exceeding different levels of risk for COVID-19 death and identifies population sub-groups to apply protective measures.
