目前缺乏探讨冠状病毒病-2019 （COVID-19）对心理健康的长期影响的研究。我们探讨了2020年4月报告可能的COVID-19症状与1、2、3、5和7个月后的心理困扰（使用一般健康问卷测量）之间的关系。数据来自英国家庭纵向研究，这是一项对英国成年人进行的全国代表性家庭小组调查。与没有可能感染的参与者相比，在可能感染COVID-19后长达7个月的时间里，他们的心理困扰水平都有所上升。这种关联在年轻年龄组和男性中更为明显。迫切需要进一步研究COVID-19的心理后遗症。
Summary Studies exploring the longer-term effects of experiencing coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on mental health are lacking. We explored the relationship between reporting probable COVID-19 symptoms in April 2020 and psychological distress (measured using the General Health Questionnaire) 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 months later. Data were taken from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, a nationally representative household panel survey of UK adults. Elevated levels of psychological distress were found up to 7 months after probable COVID-19, compared with participants with no likely infection. Associations were stronger among younger age groups and men. Further research into the psychological sequalae of COVID-19 is urgently needed.
