In a study by Cambridge University, it was revealed that people who had a heavy corona virus lost their mental activities.
In 2020, 46 patients with an average age of 51 who were hospitalized due to coronavirus were followed. As a result of the study, he stated that the brains of those who survived the virus aged about 20 years, which means a decrease of 10 IQ points.
MENTAL SHARPNESS DECREASED!
Scientists who conducted tests on cause-effect and problem-solving for those who managed to defeat the coronavirus found that the “mental acuity” of those who survived the disease decreased.
Professor Adam Hampshire, from Imperial College London, who took part in the research, said, “About 40 thousand people in England survived Covid-19 in intensive care, and some of them had a serious illness, although they were not hospitalized. “Mental health problems continue and we need to address this issue carefully,” he said.
Scientists also stated that in the study conducted on patients, especially those who survived the virus hard to find the right words. Experts also underlined that there is a decline in areas such as attention, complex problem solving and memory.
