A new study reveals a surprising result: women may be at greater risk for developing long-term health effects from COVID-19 .

The study’s findings are part of a nationwide initiative launched and funded by the National Institutes of Health, called Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery, or RECOVER. Shah is a corresponding author of the study titled, “Sex Differences in Long COVID,” published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open.
