Description
Laura Mehegan and colleagues survey long COVID among older adults in the United States, in work from 2023. Two national surveys asked adults aged fifty and older about COVID and lasting symptoms. Focus groups then added depth from patients and their partners on daily impact.
Four in ten survey participants had caught COVID at least once. Over one quarter of those infected reported symptoms lasting four weeks or more. One third of that group said long COVID affected their job. Focus groups stressed brain fog, deep fatigue, low mood, and anxiety as core burdens. Partners took on care tasks that cut work time, and many patients cut hours or quit.
