COVID-19 is a new viral disease declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2020. This highly infectious disease, caused by the virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has shown a different impact on young individuals, old individuals, and people with other health conditions. In this study, we aim to identify the different relationships between COVID-19 with other health complications. Additionally, our purpose is to ordinate the ages of individuals according to COVID-19 affection. For this, we apply the HJ-Biplot along with Cluster multivariate analysis techniques to a data set of patients diagnosed with COVID-19, Pneumonia, smoking Habits, Diabetes, Obesity, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma, Immunosuppression, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Problems, Chronic Renal Insufficiency, and other health problems. The data set that we use in this work was obtained from the Mexico Government website. This exploratory research illustrates that COVID-19 disease presents different relationships with other health problems and individuals. For example, this viral disease is highly correlated with Hypertension, Diabetes, smoking habits, and Obesity health conditions. Other high correlations are found among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Cardiovascular problems, Pneumonia, Chronic Renal Insufficiency, Hypertension, and Diabetes. Also, the ordination of individuals according to COVID-19 affection shows us that 60 to 89 years old people are highly affected by this disease. Furthermore, we identify the formation of two clusters of individuals. On the one hand, the first Cluster is formed by old individuals highly affected by many diseases. On the other hand, the second Cluster is formed mainly by young individuals lowly affected by this study's health problems. Identifying COVID-19 correlated health conditions and the age of the most affected individuals is crucial to the correct handle of the pandemic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
