Health diseases associated with Covid-19

Covid-19 is part of everyday life: from TV news to conversations among friends and family. 

However, some side-effects of COVID-19 are not as well-known.

From early on in  the COVID-19 pandemic  a connection was found among older, male and diverse range of comorbidities (other medical conditions), with severe forms of COVID-19. 

By analysing data from COVID-19 diseases and related deaths, some scientific research showed that there is a connection between comorbidity and the COVID-19-related hospitalization or death risk. Those associations have a higher  impact when age and gender are also taken into consideration.

People with comorbidities like obesity, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease and higher age are more likely to be hospitalized by COVID-19. 

As far as the gender is concerned, men have a higher risk of being hospitalized compared to women.

Furthermore, all chronic diseases were positively linked with a higher risk of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality due to COVID-19 (Down syndrome, obesity, hypertension ,kidney transplantation, active lung cancer, coronary heart disease, inflammatory disease or skin disease). 

This interpretation means that it is pivotal to travel safe and to decrease the likelihood to be affected by COVID-19, specifically in cases of comorbidity.
