Obesity and COVID-19

Scientists find a strong link between this health problem and COVID-19 death: Nonperele – Aug. 21

In a new study, researchers found the prevalence of obesity in a population is linked to negative outcomes from COVID-19. They found a strong link between the prevalence of morbid obesity and cases of—and deaths from—COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The researchers suggest their findings can help identify resources needed for obese patients and inform mitigation policies. The research was conducted by a team at The University of Alabama.  Obesity is known to increase the risk from respiratory infections and hinder pulmonary function, and there’s an emerging pattern in the treatment of COVID-19 patients that obesity is a pervasive problem and linked to negative health outcomes such as requiring a ventilator.
