Odd... I wonder why the numbers are so high in the US?

86% in US report brain fog, versus 15% in India​

Among long-COVID patients who were not hospitalized during their initial infection (most participants), 86% of those in the United States reported brain fog, compared with 62% in Colombia, 63% in Nigeria, and 15% in India. Symptoms of anxiety or depression were reported by 70% of US participants, compared with roughly 68% in Colombia and less than 20% in Nigeria and India.

Brain fog, depression more common in long COVID in US than in lower-income countries, study suggests

Maybe diet? IMO

That did cross my mind. I think it would be interesting if they surveyed those Americans about their diets. Do they eat healthily or eat a diet full of processed food? How much do they drink and how much do they exercise, etc. That would be pretty interesting to me.
