Image: Log Graph of Covid-19 Infection Fatality Ratio by age

Description: The log-linear relationship between IFR and age. Note: Our metaregression indicates that the infection fatality rate (IFR) increases exponentially with age, and hence this figure uses a base-10 logarithmic scale so that the relationship is evident across all ages from 5 to 95 years. Each marker denotes a specific metaregression observation, that is, the IFR for a particular age group in a particular location. The marker style reflects the type of observation: circles for observations from seroprevalence studies of representative samples, diamonds for seroprevalence studies of convenience samples, and squares for countries with comprehensive tracing programs. The red line denotes the metaregression estimate of IFR as a function of age, the shaded region depicts the 95% confidence interval for that estimate. The dashed lines denote the prediction interval (which includes random variations across studies and age groups), and almost all of the 108 metaregression observations lie within that interval.
