Obesity a predictor of outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalized patients-A systematic review and meta-analysis

Preeti Malik et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis found a significant association between obesity and poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that obese individuals are at higher risk for severe disease and adverse results compared to non-obese patients. This study's results may provide important implications for the clinical management and future research on obesity and COVID-19.

Association of Body Mass Index and Age With Morbidity and Mortality in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 Results From the American Heart Association COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease Registry

Nicholas S. Hendren et al.

Summary: This study found that obese patients are more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19, and are at higher risk of in-hospital death or mechanical ventilation, particularly if young (age <= 50 years). Additionally, obese patients are also at higher risk for venous thromboembolism and dialysis. These observations support clear public health messaging and rigorous adherence to COVID-19 prevention strategies in all obese individuals regardless of age.

Obesity is Associated with Poor Covid-19 Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Caroline Wei Shan Hoong et al.

Summary: Obesity is independently associated with an unfavorable outcome of COVID-19 illness, with obese patients having twice the risk of a composite outcome of severe disease or mortality, and a 50% increased risk of death. Even overweight patients have an increased risk of unfavorable outcomes, with severe obesity presenting an escalated risk.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with type 2 diabetes in Turkey: A nationwide study (TurCoviDia)

Alper Sonmez et al.

Summary: This study showed that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized for COVID-19 are at increased risk of mortality, longer hospital stay, and ICU admission. Older age, male gender, obesity, insulin treatment, low lymphocyte count, and pulmonary involvement are independent predictors of mortality.

Unexpectedly lower mortality rates in COVID-19 patients with and without type 2 diabetes in Istanbul

Ilhan Satman et al.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of patients with and without T2DM during the first hit of COVID-19 in Istanbul, finding that T2DM patients had higher rates of hospitalization and 30-day mortality. T2DM patients also exhibited more severe laboratory deviations, comorbidities, and frequent drug usage compared to those without diabetes.

Body mass index and severity/fatality from coronavirus disease 2019: A nationwide epidemiological study in Korea

In Sook Kang et al.

Summary: The study revealed a non-linear (U-shaped) relationship between BMI and fatal illness. Patients with a BMI of <18.5 kg/m(2) and those with a BMI >=25 kg/m(2) were at a higher risk of fatal illness. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for not only preventing chronic cardiometabolic diseases but also improving outcomes of COVID-19.

Summary: Obesity and its related complications increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in Egyptian patients. Obese patients showed significantly higher clinical indicators compared to normal-weight and overweight patients, emphasizing the need for more attention and intervention in this population.
