a
Derived by subtracting the reported number of COVID-19 deaths (as the underlying cause) from the estimated number of excess deaths from all causes.
b
These ages were excluded from the model because mortality rates from this cause are extremely low.
c
The model was restricted to ages 35 and older because mortality rates from this cause are exceptionally low below age 35.
d
The model was restricted to ages 55 and older because there are very few deaths from Alzheimer’s disease below age 55.
