Could be reverse causation. T2 diabetes is a major risk factor for COVID, so perhaps kids with undiagnosed T2 diabetes are more likely to have COVID bad enough to go to the doctor.
- But they didn't account for the treatment for Covid as being a possible cause for the difference.
- Nor - conveniently? - is there mention of vaxinated vs non-vaxinated. Boosted vs non.
- The final check would be those who knew they had Covid vs those who were asymptomatic. Stress is a powerful force. Those aware of having Covid may have stressed more, which is known to effect the immune system, weight gain, etc.
