Worldwide Data Shows Obesity to Be the ONLY Consistent Factor in COVID-19 So Far

August 24, 2020 Puzzle Piece

Obesity is the number one risk factor for developing a severe case of COVID-19 in people under the age of 55.
 
Obesity Is a Preexisting Condition to Many Diseases and Dis-eases
Several ongoing studies have indicated that the most frequent comorbidities represented in the severe COVID‐19 infected population are hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. The latest data and statistics show that obesity is a universally consistent factor in the development and battle with COVID-19. 
 
Obesity is a risk factor for being hospitalized or placed in the ICU as a result of COVID-19," says Dr. Kyle Stephens, weight loss surgeon at Houston Methodist. "And this is particularly concerning since we also know that about 42% of adults in the U.S. are considered obese."
 
Having a BMI of 30 or higher increases a person's risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19 by 27%.  Obesity being a factor isn’t a new concept. When H1N1 was rampant, reports from around the world identified obesity and severe obesity as risk factors for hospitalization and the need for mechanical ventilation.
 
Why Obesity Creates the Perfect Storm
"One thought is that the infection may exacerbate the breathing difficulties that overweight people often experience, even if they don't know it. Another theory is that obesity may increase the chance of a person experiencing a "cytokine storm" — a life-threatening immune-related complication of COVID-19. Lastly, having more fat may help the virus stick around longer due to molecular properties of both fat cells and this particular virus," explained Dr. Stephens.
