COVID-19 vulnerability and comorbidities

COVID-19 vulnerability and comorbidities

Flash

Epidemiologists work at understanding and evaluating the spread and population susceptibility to diseases. COVID-19 is no exception. Research teams around the world develop models to better estimate population vulnerability and disease burden in geographic areas such as in Europe. Incidence-based DALY calculations and Years Lived with Disability (YLD) are recommended methods to assess comorbidities and multimorbidities and help countries to assess risks and disease impact.
