Preliminary data presented to Sage shows women more likely to report new disability or increased fatigue
Working-age women who are hospitalised with coronavirus are five times more likely to develop long Covid than men in the same age group, according to research presented to the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).
Preliminary data shared with scientific advisers suggests that women under 50 are five times more likely than men under 50 to report a new disability, six times more likely to experience greater breathlessness, and twice as likely to feel more fatigued up to 11 months after leaving hospital.
