Covid-19 was the third leading cause of death in the United States in 2021, the CDC has reported. For the second consecutive year, it was third after heart disease and cancer.
The overall age-adjusted death rate for all causes in the US was about 1% higher in 2021 that in was in 2020, but the death rate from Covid-19 increased by nearly 20%. The data was published Friday in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.Covid-19 still isn't like the fluMore than one in eight deaths in 2021 had Covid-19 as an underlying cause, up from about one in 10 deaths in 2020.
Also, Covid-19 death rates remained highest among those ages 85 and older in 2021, but were lower than they were in 2020. For all other age groups, Covid-19 death rates were higher in 2021 than they were in 2020. "The results of both studies highlight the need for greater effort to implement effective interventions," the CDC said in a statement.
