A new study published in JAMA Health Forum has found that people who have had long COVID may be at higher risks of heart and pulmonary problems, as well as a doubled risk of death. The study analysed insurance claims data for 13,435 adults who had long COVID and 26,870 individuals who did not have the virus. The study found that the group with long COVID had a higher mortality rate compared to the group without. Another new research paper suggests catching the virus also makes you more susceptible to bowel problems.
