(ABC 6 News) - As the county and state monitor the pandemic, scientists and medical researchers continue to learn more about COVID-19. Mayo Clinic released a new study that says younger people with psychiatric disorders are at a higher risk for severe disease or even death from the virus.
Medical experts say it was clear early on that some groups of people are affected by COVID-19 more than others. For example, older people or those with underlying health conditions.
But now health officials say another population is also at risk for severe disease. A way that we thought about this is that we were looking kind of for a flag. Which groups of people are going to have problems? And this was kind of our first step in identifying those groups, Jennifer St. Sauver, professor of epidemiology at Mayo Clinic, said.

Mayo Clinic study provides insights into risk factors for severe COVID-19 in younger populations
Using data from 9,859 COVID-19 infections, Mayo Clinic researchers have new insights into risk factors for younger populations, some of which differ significantly from their older counterparts. People younger than 45 had a greater than threefold increased risk of severe infection if they had cancer or heart disease, or blood, neurologic or endocrine disorders, the research found. These associations were weaker in older age groups. The study was published in
Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
The research team studied people living in a 27-county region of Southeast Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin surrounding Mayo Clinic in Rochester diagnosed with COVID-19 between March and September 2020. The study used the Rochester Epidemiology Project, a linkage of 1.7 million medical records from multiple health care systems that provides a full picture of risks for an entire geographical region.
