A new study conducted by CU Denver researchers found that neighborhoods can be risk factors for severe illness.
What neighborhood you live in is a risk factor, a study concluded after looking at data from more than 18,000 Denver residents hospitalized for COVID."Watch your weight," doctors say. "Quit smoking, quit drinking, start jogging."A University of Colorado Denver study published on July 14
A person's chances of severe illness are already known to be worse when they're elderly or obese, or if they suffer from chronic illnesses like heart disease or diabetes, which are often found in low-income areas. The CU Denver study found that other risk factors — like where someone lives — also led to severe illness regardless of age, weight or wealth. Researchers also accounted for race and ethnicity.
The CU Denver study finds new risk factors that Rowan believes should be a major part of public health policy. Rowan notes that living in dense buildings and taking public transit are known risk factors for transmitting diseases, but the study focused more on who is getting sicker once they already have the virus, not who gets the virus initially.
