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

    @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

    @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

Abstract Synopsis

  • 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.]
