Old age and having a wide range of initial symptoms increase the risk of "long Covid", say scientists.The research at King's College London also showed being female, excess weight and asthma raised the risk.
The results, which are due to be published online, show long Covid can affect anyone, but some things do raise the risk."Having more than five different symptoms in the first week was one of the key risk factors," Dr Claire Steves, from Kings College London, told BBC News. Vicky Bourne, 48, started off with a fever and a "pathetic little cough" in March, which became "absolutely terrifying" when she struggled to breathe and needed to be given oxygen by a paramedic.Vicky's health is improving, but her vision has changed and she still gets "waves" of more severe illness. Even walking the dog takes so much out of her she can't talk at the same time.
"It's almost like there's inflammation in my body that's bouncing around and it can't quite get rid of it, so it just pops up and then it goes away and pops up and goes away."One in 20 people is ill for at least eight weeksThe King's researchers have created a piece of computer code to pick out, from the start of a coronavirus infection, who is at risk of long Covid.
Mmmm so this “research” is entirely based on people self reporting symptoms in the NHS Covid app. Headline should be “who is more likely to report it”. No evidence that a syndrome really exists or is something specific about Covid 19.
Considerable overlaps in this, and other, areas of LongCovid with MEcfs cfs and associated post-viral chronic health syndromes 🔎 Environmental factors 📡📲⚡ are likely to emerge as important in cases, in time: only question is how long before this gets reported ⌛ Stop5G
