cord-301416-rfrbgnft	Kashnitsky, Ilya	COVID-19 in unequally ageing European regions	2020-08-28		.txt	text/plain	1292	71	50	The map presented in this brief note summarizes regional differences in population age structures between the NUTS-3 regions of Europe in the context of unequal ageand sex-specific death risks associated with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the map NUTS-3 regions of Europe are colored according to the deviation from European pooled estimate of the proportion of population at risk of death due to COVID-19. We adjust IFRs by sex ratios of age-specific case-fatality ratios observed for the pooled population of all the European countries in the COVerAGE database (Riffe & Acosta, 2020) . The map in Figure 1 summarizes regional differences in population age structures between the NUTS-3 regions of Europe in the context of unequal age-and sexspecific death risks associated with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlights -European regions are ageing unequally -The COVID-19 pandemic is hardest in the elderly populations -Population age structures alone may account for four-fold variation in average regional infection-fatality ratios across Europe	./cache/cord-301416-rfrbgnft.txt	./txt/cord-301416-rfrbgnft.txt
