The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to substantial morbidity and mortality world-wide. Evidence suggests that ethnic and racial minorities have been disproportionately affected in the United States, particularly within major population centers. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in Cook County, Illinois, and found that the rate of years of potential life lost (YPLL) was 4.8 times greater in the most affected racial group (YPLL: 2289/100,000 population in Hispanic people) than in the least affected group (YPLL: 480/100,000 population in Asian people).
由 SARS-CoV-2 病毒引起的 COVID-19 大流行在全球范围内导致了大量的发病率和死亡率。有证据表明,在美国,少数民族和少数族裔受到的影响不成比例,特别是在主要人口中心。在这项研究中,我们评估了 COVID-19 大流行对伊利诺伊州库克县的影响,发现受影响最严重的种族群体(YPLL:西班牙裔人口中每 10 万人中有 2289 人)的潜在寿命损失年率(YPLL)比受影响最小的群体(YPLL:每 10 万人中有 480 人)高出 4.8 倍。
