About the study In the present study, the team conducted a bi-lingual , cross-sectional, probability-based survey among 3,042 adults in the U.S. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection history was determined for each participant based on self-reported positive SARS-CoV-2 tests from a healthcare provider or home-rapid antigen tests or self-reported COVID-19 symptoms with evidence of close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient.
Results The results reported that 7.3% of the participants reported having long COVID symptoms, which translates to close to 19 million U.S. adults. Consistent with previous studies, the prevalence of long COVID was higher among women and individuals with comorbidities. Unvaccinated individuals, as well as vaccinated individuals who had not received booster doses also had a higher prevalence of long COVID.
