Laboratory analyses of long COVID have demonstrated imbalances in metabolic parameters, suggesting that it is one of the many outcomes induced by long COVID. Therefore, this study aimed to illustrate the clinical and laboratory markers related to the course of the disease in patients with long COVID. Participants were selected using a clinical care programme for long COVID in the Amazon region. Clinical and sociodemographic data and glycaemic, lipid, and inflammatory screening markers were collected, and cross-sectionally analysed between the long COVID-19 outcome groups. Of the 215 participants, most were female and not elderly, and 78 were hospitalised during the acute COVID-19 phase. The main long COVID symptoms reported were fatigue, dyspnoea, and muscle weakness. Our main findings show that abnormal metabolic profiles (such as high body mass index measurement and high triglyceride, glycated haemoglobin A1c, and ferritin levels) are more prevalent in worse long COVID presentations (such as previous hospitalisation and more long-term symptoms). This prevalence may suggest a propensity for patients with long COVID to present abnormalities in the markers involved in cardiometabolic health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15051197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,6]],"date-time":"2023-03-06T03:02:32Z","timestamp":1678071752000},"page":"1197","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Metabolic Profile of Patients with Long COVID: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Daniel Carvalho de","family":"Menezes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patr\u00edcia Danielle Lima de","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Igor Costa de","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1158-166X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana Hiromi Emin","family":"Uesugi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro Fernando da Costa","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6267-9966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juarez Ant\u00f4nio Sim\u00f5es","family":"Quaresma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"},{"name":"School of Medicine, S\u00e3o Paulo University (USP), S\u00e3o Paulo 01246903, Brazil"},{"name":"Tropical Medicine Center, Federal University of Par\u00e1 (UFPA), Bel\u00e9m 66055-240, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8391-2694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luiz F\u00e1bio Magno","family":"Falc\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biological Health Sciences, State University of Par\u00e1 (UEPA), Bel\u00e9m 66087-670, Brazil"},{"name":"School of Medicine, S\u00e3o Paulo University (USP), S\u00e3o Paulo 01246903, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1111\/apm.13210","article-title":"Could SARS-CoV-2 infection affect male fertility and sexuality?","volume":"130","author":"Finocchi","year":"2022","journal-title":"APMIS"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.4254\/wjh.v15.i1.41","article-title":"Acute-on-chronic liver failure in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection","volume":"15","author":"Liptak","year":"2023","journal-title":"World J.
