Overview

Analysis reveals excess mortality in young adults from COVID-19 across Europe, suggesting ongoing risk factors.

Key Points

  • Excess mortality in young adults peaked in several countries during 2020 and 2021, highlighting significant health impacts from COVID-19.
  • The highest excess mortality rates were observed in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, with percentages ranging from about 19% to over 51%.
  • Non-linear model analysis was one of three methods used to assess age-standardized mortality rates among the population aged 20-64 over five years.
  • Implications indicate that understanding excess mortality patterns is crucial for public health responses in Europe following COVID-19.
