what was observed for excess mortality, for both the male and female population, those who are between the age of 15 and 44 were affected more by the indirect effects of the pandemic, whereas those who are above the age of 44 were affected more by the direct effects of the pandemic. Since we are examining YLL, meaning we are putting more weight on the younger population in our calculations, this amplifies the indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall population since the younger population is greatly affected by the collateral effects of the pandemic compared to the direct effects. In particular, we observe that males between the ages of 15 and 44 heavily contributed to the YLL attributable to the indirect effects of disease (Chan et al 2021)
