Second COVID infection raises back pain risk fourfold
A Canadian study has shown that repeated infections with COVID-19 significantly increase the likelihood of being diagnosed with new health conditions, especially back problems and respiratory issues. Specifically, the odds of being diagnosed with back problems increased fourfold, while respiratory infections increased fivefold with recurrent infections. Additionally, individuals who have had COVID-19 twice are 76% more likely to receive a new medical diagnosis compared to those who have not been infected. Although these results do not establish a direct causal relationship, they suggest a link between repeated infections and the emergence of new health problems, particularly among more vulnerable groups such as the elderly, smokers, and people with chronic diseases.
