In the United States, adults aged 25 to 44 years had the largest relative increase in all-cause mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with disproportionate increases among Black, Hispanic, and Latino adults., In the first 6 months of the pandemic, the number of COVID-19–attributed deaths among people aged 25 to 44 years in regions with major outbreaks was similar to or exceeded the number to deaths from drug overdoses, which has been the usual leading cause of death in this age group in prior years. To better understand excess mortality among adults aged 25 to 44 years during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, we examined mortality data from Texas, a racially and ethnically diverse state.
