Even though the cases of Covid-19 are less now, who can forget about the devastation it has caused in the past years. Recently, a study has revealed the issue of payment regarding Covid.
This study has found that compared to European and Chinese people who have recovered from Covid, Indian people are much more affected by lung related problems. Let us know what is the whole truth of this study and why only Indian people are affected by lung problems.
What was found during the study
According to a study published in PLOS Global Public Health Journal, SARS-CoV-2 has had a very dangerous effect on the lungs of people recovering from corona. In this study, 207 people were studied who recovered after getting corona.
During the study, all the people who participated were subjected to sensitive lung function test, which is also called gas transfer (DLCO). Actually, this test works to measure how long it takes for oxygen to enter the bloodstream of the body when we breathe air. This test has been affected by 44 percent.
CMC doctors have described this condition as very dangerous.In which restrictive lung defect was found in 35% people. This has more impact on breathing and inflating air in the lungs. Apart from this, negative impact was also seen in the quality of life test in the study.
Why are Indians more affected than other countries?
Let us tell you that Dr. DJ Christopher, Professor of Pulmonary Medicine Department of CMC Vellore and Principal Investigator of this study, says that the condition of diabetes and BP patients is much worse than in other countries.In this serious condition, after the patient is admitted, the patient gets cured by giving oxygen support and steroid treatment. But if the infection increases, this disease can damage the lungs up to 95 percent.
