InterestModerate interest

There is average interest, with some posts expressing curiosity about the social determinants and disparities, but others are dismissive or distracted by unrelated topics.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions recognize that understanding social factors could influence health policy, but overall, the perceived impact remains moderate due to mixed opinions and minimal calls for action.

Abstract in brief

  • This study explores how social factors like gender, race, education, and sexual orientation intersect to influence the likelihood of experiencing long COVID and its impact on daily activities in the US.
  • The findings show that women, People of Color, sexual and gender minorities, and those without college degrees are more likely to suffer from long COVID and activity limitations, with disparities especially pronounced for women without higher education.
  • The analysis suggests that these disparities are driven more by social determinants of health, such as occupational segregation and household roles, rather than the virus itself, highlighting the importance of addressing social inequalities in health outcomes.]

@aftab_usa More and more it’s looking like long covid is a psychological more than physical medical illness. Perhaps explains why transgender persons have such a high rate of long covid. https://t.co/r872BFlRbw

@ejustin46 @DALupton it was the wrong link anyway! An intersectional analysis of long COVID prevalence: https://t.co/ioGjkiJKso As you'd expect, a social gradient. Pointing back to the need for a broad social safety net government response. But where is Marmot in this!

@Chrystalos @drbigbeef @ronrule @DrNeilStone It seems like political affiliation has a stronger correlation with long COVID than vaccination status. https://t.co/bnOgUMhdkf

@BL_Balthaser We found prevalence of long COVID among college-grad men was 17.9% vs. 40.6% for women w/out a degree. Women overrepresented in care sector & women of color crowded into poorly paid care occupations, like personal care aides & home health aides https://t.co/0HmgBAs9Y8

@mercurial_moons It’s because you’re transgender. Only transgenders and minorities get long covid. https://t.co/VBbyP33MAp
