*Associations were determined by using multivariable logistic regression models for 8,392 infected persons (cases). Model 1 included age (as a categorical variable) and sex; model 2 added preexisting medical conditions (factor variable), BMI (categorical variable), severity of acute COVID-19 (categorical variable), and vaccination before infection (factor variable); model 3 added household income and education level (categorical variables). BMI, body mass index; NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio. †Number of cases who had post–COVID-19 condition.
