       Study details long COVID’s effect on patients’ wellbeing
       August 7 2026
       Working-age adults living with long COVID feel less satisfied
       with life, experience less happiness, and have less hope,
       according to a study published this week in BMC Public Health.
       The paper highlights the association between having long COVID
       and poorer wellbeing.
       “The findings underscore that the burden of long COVID extends
       beyond clinical health outcomes to encompass how individuals
       evaluate and experience their lives,” wrote the authors, from
       Syracuse University in New York.
       “Long COVID symptoms were significantly associated with lower
       levels of subjective wellbeing in a dose-dependent manner.”
       The World Health Organization defines long COVID “as the
       continuation or development of new symptoms 3 months after the
       initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, with these symptoms lasting for at
       least 2 months with no other explanation.”
