摘要：ThisstudyexaminestheeffectoftheelderlypopulationonSARS-CoV-2Disease(COVID-19)mortality for a sample of 146 countries. It shows that the elderly population is robustly associatedwith higher COVID-19 mortality. This effect, however, decreases significantly in countries with higherhealth care absorptive capacity. The results are robust to control for a set of economic, institutionaland regional variables.
