Post-COVID-19 functional status in socioeconomically vulnerable neighborhoods attended in primary health care in two Brazilian cities: a cross-sectional study
Our findings indicate varying degrees of post-COVID functional limitation status among residents of socioeconomically vulnerable neighborhoods who have recovered from COVID-19. People who live in homes with fewer rooms, are female, older, have pre-existing diabetes or respiratory diseases, have been reinfected with COVID-19, have difficulty accessing COVID-19 testing and those who experienced discrimination in health services are at higher chance of developing post-COVID syndrome.
