Religious affiliation and the risk of COVID 19 related mortality; a retrospective analysis of variation in pre and post lockdown risk by religious group in England and Wales.	2020-10-05		.txt	text/plain	3537	197	52	Results Compared to Christians all religious groups had an elevated risk of death involving COVID-19; the largest age adjusted HRs were for Muslim and Jewish males at 2.5 (95% confidence interval 2.3-2.7) and 2.1 (1.9-2.5), respectively. Using data from the 2011 Census of England and Wales and linked death registrations, we estimated the age-adjusted risk of dying with COVID 19 for each religious group; we then use socio demographic information, indicators of occupational exposure and geographical measures to adjust for factors related to both the spread of the virus in the general population and the potential increased risk of death following infection as a result of inequality. Compared with the age adjusted results, the estimated hazard ratios for religious groups were reduced when covariates were included in the models, indicating that geographical and socio-demographic factors to some extent mediate the relationship between religion and COVID 19 mortality.	./cache/cord-315308-gk768lwy.txt	./txt/cord-315308-gk768lwy.txt
