Abstract
Objectives – to study the effect of psychological age on the risk of severe forms of Covid-19 in adults.
Material and methods. Research method: natural experiment. The 1st measurement: indicators of biopsychological age - mid-2020, the 2nd measurement: assessment of Covid-19 disease - the end of 2020. Subjects: 239 people aged 35-70 (155 women). Methods for assessing psychological age, expected retirement age, biological age, and analysis of variance were used.
Results. Indicators of the relative psychological age of an individual affect the development of the disease and its severity, while the combination of low indicators of psychological age with high biological indicators is most dangerous and increases the likelihood of developing severe forms of the disease.
