Overview
Similar to all viral illnesses, exposure is considered the most significant risk factor for infection with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Individuals at risk for the severe form of the disease include elderly (those aged 60+), cardiovascular disease patients, diabetics, chronic respiratory disease patients, hypertensive patients, cancer patients, and individuals in long term care facilities.
Risk Factors
- Similar to all viral illnesses, exposure is considered the most significant risk factor for infection with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
- Individuals at risk for the severe form of the disease include:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
- Elderly (those aged 60+)
- Cardiovascular disease patients
- Diabetics
- Chronic respiratory disease patients
- Hypertensive patients
- Cancer patients
- Individuals in long term care facilities
- CDC has proposed the following list of conditions that may increase the risk of a severe disease regardless of the individual's age:[8]
- Blood disorders
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic liver disease
- Compromised immune system (immunosuppression)
- Current or recent pregnancy in the last two weeks
- Endocrine disorders
- Metabolic disorders
- Heart disease
- Lung disease
- Neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions
- An Israeli based population study with 7,807 participants was published online on the 23rd of July 2020[9]. 10.1% (782) of these patients were COVID-19 positive. The study found that low vitamin D levels may be an independent risk factor for COVID-19 infection and hospitalization.
