A new study by U.K. researchers sheds light on the complex nature of so-called “long COVID” symptoms in young persons. The prospective study revealed that although a percentage of people who contract COVID-19 develop persistent symptoms — and those symptoms are real — in most young people, the symptoms resolve on their own.
According to the researchers, the attribution of persistent symptoms solely to COVID-19 is ill-founded and has been exaggerated through the use of cross-sectional studies that don’t follow participants over time.
The researchers’ findings, published earlier this month in The Lancet Regional Heath — Europe, stand in contrast to the widely held perception that debilitating symptoms following COVID-19 are frequent and enduring.
