The risk of death from Covid-19 in people under 65 is consistent across 45 countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas, but varies drastically for people above that age, according to a modeling study published on Monday in the journal Nature.
A measure called the infection fatality ratio — the portion of people who die among all infected individuals — is 0.001 percent in children ages 5 to 9 years, and rises by about 0.5 percent with each five-year increase in age, according to the model.
The I.F.R. averages 8.29 percent in those above 80, but ranges widely from 2.5 percent to 15.6 percent in different countries, the researchers reported. They did not give the specific numbers for each nation. The study also found that the risk of death is higher in men than in women, in line with results from other studies.
Large outbreaks in nursing homes and long-term care settings can skew a country’s I.F.R., the study found. Nursing homes account for more than 20 percent of deaths from Covid-19 in some countries, including Sweden and Britain, but much less in others, like South Korea and Singapore.
In France, a 22.25 percent I.F.R. in nursing homes bumps the country’s overall ratio to 1.1 percent from 0.74 percent in the general population. Because of this effect, data for people under 65 is likely to be more reliable and useful for studying the transmission of the virus in a population, the researchers said.
