This page uses the harmonized dataset with 5-year age interval.

COVerAGE-DB is an open-access database including cumulative counts of confirmed COVID-19 cases, deaths, and tests by age and sex. Original data and sources are provided alongside data and measures in standardized and age-harmonized formats. The data were extracted from reports published by official governmental institutions in a variety of formats. The project page and the medRxiv paper contain the technical details.

The database is still in development. On 2022-02-17 it includes 121 countries and 430 subnational areas.

Age distribution of global COVID-19 cases and deaths

Age distribution of global COVID-19 cases and deaths by sex

Case fatality rate (CFR), with 5-year age interval. CFR is calculated by dividing death counts by case counts for each age group. In calculating CFR, only countries with both case and death data are counted.
