Next, we compared seroprevalence among subgroups stratified by characteristics of study subjects, including age (< 40, 40-59, ≥ 60 years), gender, body mass index (BMI) (< 25, ≥ 25 kg/m 2 ), smoking history (current, previous, never), history of doctor-diagnosed diabetes or hypertension (yes, no), reason for the current hospital visit (patient, guardian), and the presence of COVID-19 confirmed cases among close contacts (yes, no). ./cache/cord-284879-sjkni2uc.txt ./txt/cord-284879-sjkni2uc.txt
