Maintaining Healthy Habits Key to Avoiding Long COVID

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study of 1,981 women who reported a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, pre-infection healthy lifestyle was associated with a substantially lower risk of post–COVID-19 condition (PCC), informally known as long COVID. Future research should investigate whether lifestyle interventions may reduce risk of developing PCC or mitigate symptoms among individuals with PCC or possibly other post-infection syndromes.
