In LMICs, that ratio is just 3.5. With each year of compared to high-income countries (HICs). Based on data age, the age-specific mortality rate increases by an average from 26 countries, people age 70 and older constitute 37 of 12.6 percent in HICs versus 7.1 percent in LMICs. This percent of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in LMICs pattern holds overall and separately for men’s and women’s on average, versus 87 percent in HICs. Only part of this mortality rates. It reflects some combination of variation difference is accounted for by differences in population across countries in age patterns of infection rates, fatality age structure. In this paper, COVID-19 mortality rates rates among those infected, and under-attribution of deaths are calculated for each age group by dividing the number to COVID-19. The findings highlight that experiences with of COVID-19 deaths by th
