What is the average age of those who have died in Jersey of COVID-19 since January 2020 until the latest recorded deaths in 2021?

What is the average age of those who have died in Jersey with COVID-19 since January 2020 until the latest recorded deaths in 2021?

What was the average age of death in Jersey in 2018, 2019 and 2020

Response

Where COVID-19 is recorded in any section of the 'Cause of Death’ on a death registration as a cause of death, the Superintendent Registrar publicly reports the death as a ‘COVID-19 related’ death statistic. This is in line with international reporting of COVID-19 deaths. Therefore all 69 reported deaths were COVID-19 related deaths.

Where a person was diagnosed with (or suspected to have had) COVID-19 at the time of their death but it did not cause their death, it is not certified as a cause of death and COVID-19 does not form part of the Cause of Death on the death registration. It therefore would not be reported by the Superintendent Registrar as a COVID-19 related death statistic.

The average age recorded for the 69 registered COVID-19 related deaths is 81.7 years.

The average age recorded for death in 2018, 2019 and 2020 was as follows:

​Year of Death

​Average Age at Death

​2018​78.8
​2019​78.9
​2020​78.7

Grand ​Total

​78.6
