In a new study, researchers identified that mask-wearing and using vitamin D decreased the risk of COVID-19 infection. They also found several characteristics – including male sex, lower age, blood group B, and larger household size – that increased the risk of infection., published by Oxford University Press, investigated risk factors and protections against contracting, and also for suffering from severe COVID.
The study found that, expectedly, some sociodemographic factors had a moderate effect on the risks of COVID-19. People who live in larger cities and people with higher levels of education, especially women, had a lower risk of infection. Larger household sizes and the number of children under 20 years of age , were associated with a higher risk of infection. People living on their own had a much lower risk of infection than those who share the household with someone else.
Adherence to social distancing and frequent handwashing had only a weak protective effect. This study also indicated that having type B blood increased the risk for COVID-19 infection. Having cats or dogs as pets did not affect the risk of infection and had a mostly insignificant positive effect on the risk of someone experiencing a severe course of the disease.
