Higher infection risk among health care workers and lower risk among smokers persistent across sars-cov-2 waves—longitudinal results from the population-based tikoco seroprevalence study

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

SARS-CoV-2 antibodies measured in serum of population-based studies` participants provide insights into the proportion of individuals who have experienced infection. SARS-CoV-2 infection-mediated seroprevalence has been reported to be increased for medical personnel and decreased for smokers in numerous studies, including two studies from Germany as well as the baseline (BL) assessment of the Tirschenreuth Study (TiKoCo). Increased seropositivity among medical personnel during the first infection wave in Europe is readily explained by higher infection risk due to occupational exposure. The authors analyzed the association of smoking and medical . . .
