“… 17–19 As the recovery profiles presented in our study are related to pre-COVID-19 cardiovascular status, we posit that it is deconditioning following the hospital admission which limits the rate of recovery, as has been noted in different frailty phenotypes. 20 Sarcopenic measures in our study, such as the incremental shuttle walk distance, were 18%–31% lower in cardiovascular groups compared with the reference group after adjustment for age, sex and ethnicity: this equates to an average walking speed of less than 1 m/s. By comparison, the walking distances achieved at 1 year in the cardiovascular groups are comparable with age and sex-matched reference distances for patients who are routinely referred to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programmes, namely 66% of the distance achieved by a healthy population.…”

“…A recent study by McAuley et al. ( 2023 ) identified physical inactivity as a driver for limited recovery and frailty in individuals 1 year after hospital discharge from COVID‐19, which we can integrate into a plausible mechanism. This has important implications, as encouraging physical activity in such individuals may be appropriate to improve metabolic health.…”

“…Frailty and pre-frailty were present in more than two-thirds of participants at 1 year. 20 A fall in the number of participants working at 1 year was seen, with 8.5% of those who were working before hospitalization no longer working and 34.6% of participants reporting that COVID-19 had resulted in a change in their occupation ( Supplementary Table S7 , available as Supplementary data at IJE online). Results from the complete Tier 2 cohort for the early and 1-year research visits are included in Tables 3 and 4 .…”
