Life courses should be analyzed with a dual emphasis on social structure and human agency: On one hand, a variety of social contexts play powerful roles in shaping the life course and creating both inequalities and shared experiences; on the other hand, human beings can take actions and make decisions, individually and collectively, that affect their life pathways and outcomes.
Sep 1, 2021 · This paper quantifies the net impact (direct and indirect effects) of the pandemic on the United States population in 2020 using three metrics: excess deaths, life expectancy, and total years of life lost. The findings indicate there were 375,235 excess deaths, with 83% attributable to direct, and 17% attributable to indirect effects of COVID-19. The decrease in life expectancy was 1.67 years ...

Jun 1, 2023 · The changes to mortality caused by COVID-19 can be summarised through the differences in life expectancy between 2019 and 2020, given that life expectancy is a summary indicator of the age ...
We also computed the ratio of excess mortality rate to reported COVID-19 mortality rate as a measurement of undercounting of the true mortality impact of the pandemic. There were wide variations in the ratio across and within regions (figure 4; table). In high-income North America, the ratios were comparatively low, ranging from −0·05 to 4 ...
Using the provisional COVID-19 death count published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we approximated: 1) number of excess deaths; 2) number of years in life expectancy decreased and the number of years reverted in historical life expectancy gains, and; 3) YLL attributed to the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 for the total, male, and female population in the ...
May 18, 2024 · Between 2019 and 2021, COVID-19 and OPRM led to a 2·2 year global decline in life expectancy. 1 In 2021, COVID-19 was the second leading cause of death among both sexes at an age-standardised death rate of 94·0 per 100 000 population, and OPRM was the fifth leading cause of death at 32·3 per 100 000 population. 1 Such findings show the rapid impact a new disease can have on life expectancy ...

Setting 37 upper-middle and high income countries or regions with reliable and complete mortality data.
