This mixed design synthesis aimed to estimate the infection fatality rate (IFR) of Coronavirus
Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in community-dwelling elderly populations and other age groups …

BACKGROUND Demographers have emphasized the importance of age in explaining the
spread of COVID-19 and its impact on mortality. However, the relationship between COVID …
