Largest Study of Lingering COVID-19 Effects Suggests a Looming Problem
worrying results of the disease’s lingering impact on people’s health.
Among those hospitalized for COVID-19, 68% reported at least one continued, COVID-19-related symptom six months after their first symptoms appeared. While this percentage decreased by the 12-month mark, it remained relatively high, at 49%. And overall, patients who had been hospitalized for COVID-19 self-reported being in poorer health and having lower quality of life—including mobility issues— compared to controls.
The findings highlight the complicated nature of COVID-19’s effects on people’s health, and the range of longer-term consequences emerging in what some experts are referring to as.
The increase in the proportion of patients experiencing anxiety or depression is especially “worrying,” say the authors, and they speculate that in addition to the isolation, unemployment, and loss of physical health that could be fueling these conditions, the virus itself may be driving abnormal immune responses that could affect the delicate work of brain chemicals contributing to people’s mental states.
