By cross-referencing these two sources, the researchers found thatThe main risk factor: smoking.
Researchers found that racial and ethnic groups were not as vulnerable as the white subgroup in the study, describing that finding as"unexpected" and inconsistent with other research, which has noted the."This suggests that factors other than the CDC's medical vulnerability criteria play a role in the risk of severe COVID-19 illness in the young adult population," such as increased exposure to the virus in work settings or crowded households, the UCSF researchers said.
The researchers noted that the figures on racial subgroups could be underestimated, a potential limitation on the accuracy of the study. Another limitation: the lack of information on COVID-19 prevalence, hospitalization, and deaths for young adults in this age group.
