Abstract
Background and aims
We aimed to explore the association between coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) vaccination and long COVID according to the status of chronic multimobidity.
Methods
A total of 1913 participants were recruited in the cross-sectional study on the basis of the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe. COVID-19 vaccination was defined as vaccination within the last 12 months. Chronic multimorbidity was defined as history of 2 + chronic disease. The study outcome was long COVID during the 12-month follow-up. Multivariable logistic models were performed to estimate the influence of chronic multimorbidity on the association of vaccination with long COVID. Net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were calculated.
Results
Chronic multimorbidity significantly modified the association of COVID-19 vaccination with long COVID (Pinteraction = 0.024). The rates of study outcome were significantly lower among vaccinated participants in the chronic multimorbidity subgroup, but not in the other subgroup. Multivariable odds ratios (95 % confidence intervals) of study outcome for unvaccination vs. vaccination were 1.494 (1.013–2.203) in those with multimorbidity and 0.915 (0.654–1.280) in those without multimorbidity, respectively. Adding COVID-19 vaccination to a model containing conventional risk factors significantly improved risk reclassification for study outcome among those with chronic multimobidity (continuous NRI was 25.39 % [P = 0.002] and IDI was 0.42 % [P = 0.075])
Conclusion
An inverse association of COVID-19 vaccination with long COVID was found among participants with chronic multimorbidity, but not among those without chronic multimorbidity. Chronic multimorbidity might expand the influence of unvaccination on developing long COVID among European aged ≥50 years.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
