Hair Loss and Sexual Dysfunction are New Long COVID Symptoms
Infected persons were also more likely to report 62 symptoms more frequently 12 weeks after their initial infection compared to those who never had COVID. The researchers grouped symptoms into three separate categories including respiratory symptoms, mental health and cognition, and a broader range of symptoms.Long COVID showed up most often in women, people between the ages of 35 and 69 years old, people living in destitute locations, Black persons, and those employed in social care, teaching/education, healthcare, and people with previous health conditions and disabilities such as smokers or overweight individuals.The United Kingdom’s Office for National Statistics reported in June that at least 2 million people are suffering from long COVID. Of those patients, 1.4 million said they first had COVID (or believed they had COVID) at least 12 weeks before their long COVID symptoms. At least 826,000 said it was a year earlier, and 376,000 said they had COVID two years prior to their long COVID symptoms.
