People with Long Covid could suffer from a wider range of symptoms than previously thought, scientists studying the condition have found.

The complaints range from hair loss, to bowel problems and even organ damage. The study, conducted at Washington University in St Louis in the USA, found that long-term effects also included gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea and constipation.

The research is based on medical records of almost 12 million people, 154,000 of whom caught Covid during the pandemic between March 2020 and January 2021.

The records were matched against around 6 million people who did not catch Coronavirus in the same time-span, and against the records of a similar number of people before the pandemic, reports WalesOnline.

may help prevent heart disease or even a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.The new analysis, published on March 31 in JAMA Network Open, reviewed more than 100 studies published as far back as 1980, involving nearly 5 million people in total. It found that there was a "significantly increased risk" of death among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day, which is about two 5-ounce glasses of wine, two 12-ounce beers, or two cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. The same significantly increased risk was found for males who drank 45 or more grams of alcohol per day, or slightly over three standard drinks.FILE - A woman pours wine into a glass at home.
