Risk factors

Has anyone seen a full list of the risk factors
I've been listening to R4. More or less is particularly good at making sense of the stats
What I'm getting so far is:
Age, BMI, sex, low vit D, lack of sleep was identified as a factor because we need sleep to boost our immune response, diabetes
Socio economic status and BAME I'm not sure if it's because in high risk jobs or something else. There is a lot of learning to be done

That's interesting. I definitely don't get enough sleep, but had no idea that would be a possible risk factor!

Those are risk factors for lots of things, not just COVID.

Age is absolutely dominant.
Risk doubles with about every 7 years of age

I don't know if vit D or sleep deficit are definite RFs. You need to know the vit D & sleep deprivation profile of people who didn't get covid or who got it & had mild reaction to be sure.
