Abstract
Essence
Among older adults with post-COVID symptoms in the Brazilian Amazon, age 70 or more and shortness of breath were linked to higher disability scores.
Evidence
This cross-sectional study surveyed 288 older adults with self-reported COVID-19 and post-COVID condition symptoms from January to April 2024 using questionnaire data and regression analyses.
Caveat

Simplified
