6^th International Obesity, Diet and Weight Management Congress

Obesity in Patients with COVID-19

Obesity raises the likelihood of hospitalisation, ICU admission, IMV therapy, and death in COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, excessive visceral adiposity appears to be connected to poor COVID-19 outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of individuals, the general public, and governments taking effective measures to raise awareness of the hazards associated with obesity and how they are exacerbated in the current worldwide epidemic. Obesity is frequent among coronavirus patients in 2019 (COVID-19). Obesity's impact on COVID-19 clinical outcomes warrants further investigation.
