Familism (or familismo) is broadly defined as “prioritizing one’s family over oneself” and is probably more prevalent in Hispanic and immigrant cultures, thus also partly explaining the higher death rates in those groups

I have a very different theory as to why there are more deaths at home. The old and sick might have taken the noble decision not to seek hospital treatment so as not to further burden the NHS and to leave their estates and wills to their heirs sooner rather than later, thus sacrificing themselves for the sake of their children.
