dc.description.abstract | Background and aims: COVID-19 disease has been associated with disproportionate mortality amongst
world population. We try to elucidate various reasons for lower mortality rate in the Indian subcontinent
due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: We carried out a comprehensive review of the literature using suitable keywords such as
‘COVID-19’, ‘Pandemics’, ‘disease outbreaks’ and ‘India’ on the search engines of PubMed, SCOPUS, Google
Scholar and Research Gate in the month of May 2020 during the current COVID-19 pandemic and
assessed mortality data.
Results: The mortality observed in Indian and south Asian subcontinent is lower than in the west.
Multifactorial reasons indicated for this differential mortality due to COVID-19 have been described in
the current literature.
Conclusions: The effects of COVID-19 on the health of racial and ethnic minority groups are still emerging
with disproportionate burden of illness and death amongst some black and ethnic minority groups.
Overall the current COVID-19 related mortality appears to be lower in the health and resource challenged
populous Indian subcontinent. Further scientific studies would be helpful to understand this disparity in
mortality due to COVID-19 in the world population. | |
