Ethnic and socioeconomic differences in SARS-CoV2 infection in the UK Biobank cohort study	2020-04-27		.txt	text/plain	5025	271	48	Interpretation Some minority ethnic groups have a higher risk of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK Biobank study which was not accounted for by differences in socioeconomic conditions, measured baseline health or behavioural risk factors. In a large population-based cohort study in the UK, we found an increased risk of developing confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in Black, South Asian and White Irish ethnic groups. The ideal approach to estimating infection risk across different social groups is to analyse data from a cohort study, but most existing cohort studies which include detailed information about ethnicity and socioeconomic position are subject to long delays in data being available for analysis and are too small to provide useful estimates of infection risk. We therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between ethnicity, socioeconomic position and the risk of having confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population-based UK Biobank study. Several ethnic minority groups had a higher risk of both being diagnosed and testing positive as an inpatient with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK Biobank study.	./cache/cord-344419-3wcfpw2z.txt	./txt/cord-344419-3wcfpw2z.txt
