20 Οκτ 2022 · They estimated that seasonal flu caused 200,000 to 400,000 cardiovascular deaths globally each year, with an average of 300,000.5. On the map, you can see the estimates of flu mortality from respiratory diseases shown as a rate per 100,000 people among people over 65.6.
In total, researchers estimate that the flu causes 400,000 respiratory deaths and 300,000 cardiovascular deaths each year. 1 The flu is most severe in infants and the elderly. 2 Among those over 65, the flu kills around 31 people per 100,000 each year from respiratory disease in Europe.
Deaths due to influenza are most common among the elderly, with a mortality rate of around 7.4 per 100,000 population during the 2021-2022 flu season. In comparison, the mortality rate for...
Having a better understanding of the burden of influenza disease, including estimates of mortality and morbidity, supports informed decision-making on health policy and resource allocation. This applies to both annual seasonal influenza and to pandemic influenza viruses.

In severe cases influenza can lead to pneumonia and sepsis. People with other medical issues or who have severe symptoms should seek medical care.
Comparisons of the case fatality rates of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza are premature. Estimates of case fatality rates for COVID-19 range from less than 1% in some nations to approximately 15% in others. This wide range reflects limitations in calculating case fatality rates.
Our finding that baseline respiratory mortality and access to health care are associated with influenza-related mortality in persons <65 years suggests that health care improvements in low and middle-income countries might substantially reduce seasonal influenza mortality.
