ABSTRACT
COVID-19 is the most severe global epidemic in recent years. Although the risk factors that influence the outbreak are unknown, it is known from the factors influencing past respiratory pandemics that ageing is one of the common factors affecting the spread of the disease. Therefore, this study uses R and SAS software to analyze the collected COVID-19 data from 191 different countries around the world in a progressive linear relationship, so as to explore whether ageing is one of the factors affecting the prevalence of COVID-19 in different countries around the world. According to the results, the factors affecting ageing are discussed, the limitations of the research method are analyzed, and advice on how older people can avoid getting COVID-19 is given.
