- A study was conducted in India to investigate sudden unexplained deaths among healthy young adults (ages 18-45) possibly linked to COVID-19 infection or vaccination from October 2021 to March 2023.
- The research analyzed data from 729 cases and 2,916 matching controls, assessing factors like COVID-19 vaccination status, family history, substance use, and physical activity.
- Results indicated that receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose reduced the likelihood of sudden death, while factors such as past hospitalization for COVID-19, family history of sudden deaths, binge drinking, and intense physical activity increased the risk.
