Why focusing on COVID deaths undercounts the health harms of the pandemic – new research

In a new study we’ve attempted to quantify how the COVID pandemic has affected global health using an international survey of the general public.

Key Points: 
  • In a new study we’ve attempted to quantify how the COVID pandemic has affected global health using an international survey of the general public.
  • Health economists often quantify health using a metric known as the quality-adjusted life year (QALY).
  • The idea is to assign a value to each year of a person’s life based on their overall health.
  • To ascertain how people thought the pandemic had affected them, we asked them to rate their current health compared with a year before.

What we found

    • Anxiety and depression was the aspect of health that worsened the most, especially for younger people (aged under 35) and women.
    • Translating the health reductions into a QALY measure indicated that during the pandemic perceived health was around 8% lower on average.
    • Similarly, some countries offered economic support to those in financial difficulties, which may have positively impacted their mental wellbeing.
    • QALYs provide a way of quantifying the trade-offs that exist between the positive and negative effects of different strategies.

Lessons for future pandemics

    • Measuring multiple aspects of health through QALYs would also be a useful supplement to existing measures focusing on cases and deaths.
    • Moving beyond counting deaths to understanding the overall health of the population globally can help us to be better prepared for potential future health shocks.
