Why do younger people die in America from the coronavirus than in Europe?

In Europe, the majority of deaths from coronavirus are people over the age of 80. It’s different in the US. There, people aged 40, 50 and 60 represent a much higher percentage of those dying from COVID-19 – noted the British weekly “The Economist”, citing the June data of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – an American agency that is part of the Department of Health and Care Social. Why do younger people die in America from the coronavirus than in Europe?

Each of us is at risk of being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. However, old age increases the risk of developing the disease, severe disease and death. In addition to the elderly, people with reduced immunity, suffering from other diseases, especially chronic ones, such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, are also at increased risk.

In rich countries that have suffered from the coronavirus pandemic, about 60 percent. of all deaths from this disease have been reported among people aged 80 and over. However, as The Economist pointed out in a June article, America is an exception in this respect.

Data released by the CDC showed that those who died at the age of 80 accounted for less than half of all COVID-19 deaths. In turn, victims of SARS-CoV-2 at the age of 40, 50 and 60 represent a much higher percentage of the dying. «Americans with COVID-19 are on average 48 years old; in Italy, it has 63 »notes the weekly.

Age of those who died due to COVID-19. Why is America an exception?

The Economist gives several explanations for this situation. One of the reasons is that America has a younger population than Europe. “The median age in America is only 38; Italy is 45 years old »writes the weekly.

Another may be that the statistical middle-aged American’s health is often worse than that of his European peer. An example is the higher percentage of obese people in the US. Meanwhile, according to the Public Health England report published at the end of July, obese people are 40 – 90 percent. more likely to die as a result of coronavirus infection than people with normal weight (according to the agency, people with a body weight index / BMI in the range of 30-35 die from COVID-19 by 40% more often; the risk is almost twice as high in people with a BMI over 40).
