There have been three fatal coronavirus-related pandemics in the twenty-first century: SARS (2002), MERS (2012), and COVID-19(2019). COVID19 first appeared in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and quickly spread worldwide. COVID-19 is a transmissible viral infection that is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
Epidemiological studies conducted in many countries of the world are aimed at identifying the presence of dependence of morbidity and mortality on various factors. Some of these factors are the age, sex, race or ethnicity of the patients. Analysis of published studies has revealed a significant correlation between age, gender, and ethnicity factors and the severity of the course and mortality from COVID-19, which may further contribute to the development of alternative strategic approaches to solve the global problem of coronavirus infection-SARS-CoV-2.
