Disparities in Age-specific Morbidity and Mortality From SARS-CoV-2 in China and the Republic of Korea
Clin Infect Dis.
.
Abstract
We analyzed age-/sex-specific morbidity and mortality data from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in China and Republic of Korea (ROK). Data from China exhibit a Gaussian distribution with peak morbidity in the 50-59-year cohort, while the ROK data have a bimodal distribution with the highest morbidity in the 20-29-year cohort.
Keywords: China; Korea; SARS-CoV-2; age-specific; confirmed cases.
