Key Points

This research aims to estimate how the risk of death from COVID-19 varies with age using forensic autopsy data.
Utilized forensic autopsy data to assess infection fatality rates by age group.
Analyzed mortality rates to determine age-specific risk levels for COVID-19 infections.
Conducted a statistical analysis to correlate age and infection fatality risk.
Identified a significant increase in infection fatality risk with advancing age.
Reported specific risk rates for different age groups, highlighting vulnerable populations.
Provided insights into potential public health strategies targeting at-risk age demographics.

Implication

Study estimates the age-specific infection fatality risk of COVID-19, suggesting important public health implications.
