Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the reasons behind the fact that some individuals did not contract coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), considering certain socio‑demographic data. The present cross‑sectional study was conducted at a state hospital between February 1, 2022 and March 1, 2022. The study group consisted of individuals who never had COVID‑19, and the control group consisted of individuals who did not know at the time of the study whether they had COVID‑19. A data collection form consisting of 29 questions created based on a literature review was used. A total of 2,958 subjects (study group, 669; control group, 2,289) were included; of these, 53.1% were females and 46.9% were males. It was found that housewives (P<0.001), individuals with secondary school and lower education levels (P=0.02), those residing in rural areas (P=0.003), those who received a combination vaccine (P<0.001), those with chronic diseases (P=0.016), those who consumed more fruits (P=0.001), those who used N95 masks (P=0.002), those with pets (P<0.001) and those who did not follow the news regarding COVID‑19 (P=0.016) had a higher probability of not contracting COVID‑19. On the whole, the present study observed that socio‑demographic factors affected the non‑COVID‑19 status.
