      <dc:description>The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of risk factors for frailty between&#xd;
perimenopausal women with long COVID-19 syndrome, women having successfully recovered from&#xd;
COVID-19, and controls from the community. Women with a diagnosis of long COVID-19 and at&#xd;
least one symptom related to the perimenopausal period, women who had successfully recovered&#xd;
from COVID-19, and healthy women of comparable age were included in this study. Symptom&#xd;
severity and functional disability were assessed with the COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale,&#xd;
and the presence of frailty was evaluated considering the Fried criteria. A total of 195 women were&#xd;
included in the study, distributed over the three groups. The long COVID-19 group showed a higher&#xd;
prevalence of perimenopausal symptoms and impact of COVID-19. Statistically significant differences&#xd;
were found between the long COVID-19 group and the other two groups for the frailty variables.&#xd;
When studying the associations between frailty variables and COVID-19 symptom impact, significant&#xd;
positive correlations were found. Perimenopausal women with long COVID-19 syndrome present&#xd;
more frailty-related factors and experience a higher range of debilitating ongoing symptoms. A&#xd;
significant relationship is shown to exist between long COVID-19 syndrome-related disability and&#xd;
symptoms and frailty variables, resulting in an increased chance of presenting disability.</dc:description>
