ABSTRACT
Long COVID, also known as PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2), is a complex infection-associated chronic condition affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. Many aspects of this condition are incompletely understood. Among them is how this condition may manifest itself in older adults and how it might impact the older population. Here, we briefly review the current understanding of PASC in the adult population and examine what is known on its features with aging. Finally, we outline the major gaps and areas for research most germane to older adults.
ABSTRACT
Approximately 4.8 million Asian Indians were documented by the US Census Bureau in 2023. Members of this population follow different religious practices, speak a multitude of languages, and belong to different socioeconomic classes. Asian Indians immigrated to this country in different waves, leading to transgenerational diversity. Immigration, financial, religious, and cultural factors uniquely impact how Asian Indians interact with their healthcare providers. Asian Indians have settled throughout the country, and it is important that clinicians familiarize themselves with the specific health concerns that affect this rapidly growing population.
