A research paper published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that among more than 3,200 adults ages 18 to 34 who were hospitalized with Covid-19, 21% required intensive care, 10% required mechanical ventilation, and nearly 3% — 88 patients — died.
New findings published this month further reveal how severely Covid-19 can affect young adults. A research paper published infound that among more than 3,200 adults ages 18 to 34 who were hospitalized with the disease, 21 percent required intensive care, 10 percent required mechanical ventilation and nearly 3 percent — 88 patients — died. Of those who survived, 3 percent — 99 patients — had to be discharged to another health care facility to continue their recoveries.
Young people should not assume they are immune to the consequences of this disease, and they should do everything they can to avoid it.— and parties — multiple outbreaks already have been reported across the nation. Doctors are concerned about the spreading infections and the serious cases that can result.
Overall, 58 percent of the young adult patients were men, and 57 percent were Black or Hispanic. More than a third were obese, including 25 percent who were morbidly obese , 18 percent had diabetes, and 16 percent had hypertension. The young adult patients who had more than one of those underlying health conditions had the same risks from Covid-19 as middle-age adults without those conditions, the study found.
"Young people should not assume that they are immune to the consequences of this disease, and they should do everything they can to avoid it," Solomon said., JAMA Internal Medicine's deputy editor, Dr. Mitchell Katz, president and CEO of NYC Health and Hospitals, wrote that the findings show that"Covid-19 does not spare young people."
"If you have these risk factors, it's really important that you get them under control," Poland said."The better controlled they are, the lower your susceptibility and risk."
