‘Deaths of Despair' contribute to 17% rise in Minnesota's death rate during COVID-19 pandemic
16 days ago - By Discovery's Edge
The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a 17% increase in the death rate in Minnesota during the first year of the pandemic compared to the two previous years, according to a new study published by researchers at Mayo Clinic. Deaths were driven by both COVID-19 and other causes, with a surprising increase found in preventable "deaths of despair" caused by overdose, alcohol use and malnutrition. Data showed that racial and ethnic minority populations as well as older adults were disproportionately affected.
To examine the effects of the pandemic on deaths across the state, researchers...
