The risk of serious illness from COVID-19 increases steadily with age, especially for those with underlying medical problems like chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cardiovascular disease, serious heart conditions, obesity, or diabetes. According to a recent study published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, certain underlying medical conditions may increase the risk of serious COVID-19 for individuals of any age.
The strongest evidence supporting increased risk of serious COVID-19 illness applies to the following conditions:
chronic kidney disease
COPD (chronic bronchitis or emphysema)
obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 or higher)
immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant
serious heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and other diseases of the heart muscle
sickle cell disease
type 2 diabetes.
Conditions that might increase risk of severe COVID-19 illness include:
moderate to severe asthma
cerebrovascular disease such as stroke
cystic fibrosis
high blood pressure
weakened immune response due to blood or bone marrow transplant, immune deficiencies, HIV or AIDS, use of corticosteroids, or use of other immune-weakening medications
any condition or treatment that weakens the immune response (cancer, cancer treatment, organ or bone marrow transplant, immunosuppressant medications, HIV or AIDS)
neurologic conditions, such as dementia
liver disease
pregnancy
pulmonary fibrosis (damaged or scarred lung tissue)
smoking
thalassemia (a blood disorder)
type 1 diabetes.
According to the CDC, hospitalizations have been six times higher and deaths 12 times higher among those with reported underlying conditions compared with those who did not have underlying health conditions.
In addition, among COVID-19 cases with known race and ethnicity, 33% were Hispanic, 22% were black, and 1.3% were non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native. These findings suggest that these groups, who account for 18%, 13%, and 0.7% of the US population, respectively, are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Everything we are learning underscores the importance of maintaining health-promoting behaviors, even as restrictions begin to ease, especially if you have an underlying medical condition. To reduce your risk of getting sick, continue to stay home when possible, wear a mask and maintain a physical distance of at least six feet when you're around other people, and wash your hands often.
I'm older and have a chronic medical condition, which puts me at higher risk for getting seriously ill, or even dying from COVID-19. What can I do to reduce my risk of exposure to the virus?
The risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19 increases steadily with age. This is true whether or not you also have an underlying medical condition, although the sickest individuals and most of the deaths have been among people who were both older and had chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease, lung problems, or diabetes.
The CDC suggests the following measures for those who are at higher risk:
Obtain several weeks of medications and supplies in case you need to stay home for prolonged periods of time.
Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others.
When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact, and wash your hands often.
Avoid crowds.
Avoid cruise travel and nonessential air travel.
During a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible to further reduce your risk of being exposed.
