People with severe COVID-19 lose up to 10 IQ points

This is the conclusion made in a study conducted by scientists from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London in October 2021.

The study was conducted with the participation of 740 people with no medical history related to memory problems. The results showed that some people had a high rate of brain fog at 7 months after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Scientists determined: the more severe the patient is with COVID-19, the more severe the sequelae will be.

The body’s inflammatory response and overactivity of the immune system may be responsible for long-term cognitive impairment in people with COVID-19. However, research shows that cognitive decline caused by COVID-19 is not related to neurological disorders.
