Is joint hypermobility linked to self-reported non-recovery from COVID-19? Case–control evidence from the British COVID Symptom Study Biobank by Hugo D Critchley, Dorina Cadar, Claire J Steves, Kevin A Davies, Alan J Hakim, Nicholas Gall, Jessica A Eccles, Vicky Bowyer, Lisa Quadt, Nathan Cheetham

“…Additionally, including in a model adjusting for all covariates, hypermobility significantly predicted higher fatigue levels (B=0.95, SE=0.25, t=3.77, SE, p=0.002). Fatigue levels mediated the link between GJH and non-recovery from COVID-19 (estimate of indirect effect=0.18, 95% bootstrapped CI 0.08 to 0.29).Conclusions Individuals with GJH were approximately 30% more likely not to have recovered fully from COVID-19 infection at the time of the questionnaire, and this predicted the fatigue level. …”
