For the study, researchers analyzed electronic medical records of nearly two million people and compared people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in the first 18 months of the pandemic to those who had never had the virus. Researchers looked for 26 different symptoms that could be linked with long COVID and found that the most common long COVID symptoms were respiratory issues and musculoskeletal pain, i.e. pain in the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or muscles.
The researchers discovered that, between 30 and 365 days after people were diagnosed with COVID-19, 38% developed one or more new health issues (compared to 16% of people who didn’t have COVID-19 but saw a doctor). In people aged 65 and up, 45% who had COVID-19 developed new health issues, compared to 19% of those who didn’t have the virus.
The researchers discovered that the risk of long COVID symptoms in people who had COVID-19 who were 65 and up was between 20% and 120% higher than in people who never had the virus. People between the ages of 18 and 64 had an up to 110% higher risk of developing most of the symptoms of long COVID.
As many as one in five adults under the age of 65 who have had COVID-19, has long COVID
There is a laundry list of potential symptoms of long COVID. Per the CDC, they most commonly include:
Tiredness or fatigue that interferes with daily life
Symptoms that get worse after physical or mental effort
Fever
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Cough
Chest pain
Fast-beating or pounding heart
Difficulty thinking or concentrating
Sleep problems
Dizziness when you stand up (lightheadedness)
Pins-and-needles feelings
Change in smell or taste
Depression or anxiety
Diarrhea
Stomach pain
Joint or muscle pain
Rash
Changes in menstrual cycles
But these can be symptoms of a range of other health conditions, which makes things tricky,
