What can the UK learn from the impact of migrant populations on national life expectancy? (2022)
Journal Article
Hiam, L., Zhang, C. X., Burns, R., Darlington-Pollock, F., Wallace, M., & McKee, M. (2022). What can the UK learn from the impact of migrant populations on national life expectancy?. Journal of Public Health, 44(4), e499-e505. https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdac013

Improvements in life expectancy at birth in the UK had stalled prior to 2020 and have fallen during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stagnation took place at a time of relatively high net migration, yet we know that migrants to Australia, the USA and some...

Lives saved, lives lost, and under-reported COVID-19 deaths: Excess and non-excess mortality in relation to cause-specific mortality during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden (2024)
Journal Article
Mussino, E., Drefahl, S., Wallace, M., Billingsley, S., Aradhya, S., & Andersson, G. (in press). Lives saved, lives lost, and under-reported COVID-19 deaths: Excess and non-excess mortality in relation to cause-specific mortality during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden. #Journal not on list, 50, 1-40. https://doi.org/10.4054/demres.2024.50.1

Background: The number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths differed across countries and across waves of the pandemic. Patterns also differed between groups within a country.

Objective: We combine data on excess mortality with data on cause-of-death-spe... Read More about Lives saved, lives lost, and under-reported COVID-19 deaths: Excess and non-excess mortality in relation to cause-specific mortality during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden.

COVID-19 mortality among immigrants by duration of residence in Sweden: a population-based cohort study (2024)
Journal Article
Juárez, S. P., Debiasi, E., Wallace, M., Drefahl, S., Mussino, E., Cederström, A., …Aradhya, S. (2024). COVID-19 mortality among immigrants by duration of residence in Sweden: a population-based cohort study. Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, 52(3), 370-378. https://doi.org/10.1177/14034948241244560

Background: Explanations for the disproportional COVID-19 burden among immigrants relative to host-country natives include differential exposure to the virus and susceptibility due to poor health conditions. Prior to the pandemic, immigrants displaye... Read More about COVID-19 mortality among immigrants by duration of residence in Sweden: a population-based cohort study.
