Indian researchers from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) found no link between COVID-19 vaccination and unexplained sudden deaths among young adults aged 18 to 45. Instead, their study pointed to factors like family history of sudden death, COVID-19 hospitalization, binge drinking, and intense physical activity as potential risks. Analyzing 29,171 sudden deaths, the study concluded that lifestyle behaviors and COVID-19 itself might contribute to such incidents.
The research spanned from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2023, and focused on people aged 18-45 years who were apparently healthy with no known comorbidities and died suddenly from unexplained causes.
