COVID-19 accounted for one in eight US deaths from March 2020 to October 2021 and was the third leading cause of death, estimates a study published yesterday in JAMA Internal Medicine.National Cancer Institute researchers analyzed national death certificate data and provisional 2021 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Data beyond October 2021 were excluded because they were incomplete; thus, the analysis doesn't include deaths from the Omicron variant period.Leading cause of death in middle ageOver the entire study period, the leading causes of death were heart disease (20.1%), cancer (17.5%), COVID-19 (12.2%), accidents (6.2%), and stroke (4.7%).

From March to December 2020, 2.88 million people died in the United States, slightly more than the 2.86 million who died from January to October 2021.

The number of deaths rose across all age-groups except for those younger than 1 year.In 2020, heart disease and cancer were the two top causes of death in the country, leading to 1.29 million deaths, followed by COVID-19, at 350,000 deaths.Among people aged 55 years and older, deaths from cancer, heart disease, and COVID-19 led to the most deaths in both 2020 and 2021.
