Social inequalities in COVID-19-related years of life lost in metropolitan France, 2020
COVID-19 cause-specific mortality was unequally socially distributed across areas. Our analysis highlighted marked inequalities in YLL estimates across urban and rural municipalities of France, the more disadvantaged a municipality, the higher YLL it has. Further research is needed to better investigate the mechanisms driving such inequalities, particularly regarding the wider role of social determinants of health, which has strong impact on the excess mortality risks.
