Fox News
An observational study out of the U.K. indicated that adults aged 50-69 reported so-called “long COVID,” or symptoms months after initial COVID-19 infection, at the highest rates compared to all other age groups.
The analysis stemmed from 26,000 participants who tested positive for COVID-19 and questioned whether they experienced any of 12 specified symptoms at weekly, and later, monthly intervals for up to one year. The set of symptoms included "fever, headache, muscle ache, weakness/tiredness, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste, and loss of smell," per a release posted Thursday. Participants were then matched with a COVID-negative control to draw comparisons.
Overall, from late April to August, 1 in 20 of some 12,611 participants reported any of the 12 symptoms at 12 to 16 weeks following infection, which was reported as "statistically significantly higher" compared to the control group.
