- Abstract
Objective: To describe the scientific evidence that addresses the risk factors associated with COVID-19 infection in young adult individuals. Method: This is an integrative review of the literature in six steps, using the PICO method and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes. The Oxford levels of evidence were used to classify articles. Results: Of the 42 articles found, seven met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All studies are publications from 2020. It was observed that chronic diseases are presented as the main risk factors for COVID-19, only two articles presented characteristics related to cases of death and pointed out underlying conditions as aggravating for the new coronavirus. The studies also pointed out the young population as the most affected by the disease associated with the presentation of mild symptoms such as cough, fever and fatigue, with a low mortality rate compared to the risk group. Conclusion: Among the most evident risk factors in this study, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and smoking can be highlighted, also pointing to a higher prevalence of cases in male individuals.
