Older adults remain at a higher risk of hospitalization due to COVID-19, according to a new report from the CDC. Two doctors weighed in on the findings.
In a majority of those cases, the patients had "multiple underlying conditions," according to the agency’s report. "These findings suggest that COVID-19-associated hospitalization continues to predominantly affect adults aged ≥65 years and represent a continued public health threat." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The most common of those conditions were diabetes, kidney disorders, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure or cardiomyopathy, and obesity.
