Description
Daniel Fernández-Pedruelo and five co-authors asked in 2024 whether smoking and obesity shaped who suffered lasting harm after COVID-19. Many patients kept symptoms for weeks or months, a pattern called long COVID. The team reviewed records of patients diagnosed in one Spanish region in November 2020.
Patients were split into smokers, people with overweight or obesity, and a control group. The team compared lasting symptoms and hospital stays across the groups. Both smoking and excess weight tracked with worse after-effects and higher admission risk. The findings support shielding these groups first in future waves.
