OVID-19 Cases and Mortality
T
he Amish population experienced significant COVID-19 transmission and mortality, with excess death rates similar to, or higher than, the general U.S. population at certain points in the pandemic. Early in the pandemic (specifically November 2020), the Amish community saw a 125% increase in excess deaths.
Transmission: Due to close-knit community interactions and a general reluctance to follow public health guidelines like social distancing and mask-wearing, the virus spread rapidly within communities.
Vaccination: The Amish population generally had much lower COVID-19 vaccination rates compared to the non-Amish population, largely due to a combination of vaccine hesitancy, lack of access to information, and a faith-based approach to health.
Outcomes: After vaccines became widely available, excess death rates declined in the general U.S. population but remained elevated among the Amish, suggesting that different pathways to immunity (infection-induced versus vaccine-induced) led to different outcomes over time.
Cancer Rates
The Amish generally exhibit lower overall cancer incidence rates compared to the non-Amish population, though there are specific exceptions.
Lower Rates: Studies in Ohio found the overall cancer rate among the Amish was approximately 56% to 60% of the national or statewide average. This is largely attributed to lifestyle factors, including low rates of tobacco and alcohol use, high levels of physical activity, and limited sexual partners.
Specific Cancers: The Amish have significantly lower rates of lung, cervical, colorectal, and prostate cancers.
Higher Rates/Risk: Despite the lower overall incidence, Amish women have notably higher rates of breast cancer compared to non-Amish women, possibly due to a lack of screening. They are also more likely to be diagnosed at a later, more advanced stage for several cancers because of lower screening rates, which may contribute to a higher risk of fatality for certain cancers like stomach cancer.
Genetic and Behavioral Factors: Researchers believe the lower rates are a result of both behavioral and potentially genetic factors, though under-screening may lead to underreporting in some cases.
