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 aggravates COVID-19: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Jun Yang et al.

Summary: This review evaluated the impact of obesity on COVID-19 and found that obese individuals were more likely to test positive for the virus and had higher risks of hospitalization, ICU admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital mortality. A higher degree of obesity also indicated higher risks, and regional differences may contribute to study heterogeneity. Further research is needed to strengthen basic and clinical therapeutic approaches.

Summary: Obesity is associated with the severity of COVID-19, affecting respiratory and immune systems through various mechanisms and predisposing patients to other comorbidities. Preventing weight gain in obese COVID-19 patients is crucial during the pandemic.

Summary: Obesity is identified as an emerging risk factor for COVID-19, while self-reported slow walkers are found to have a higher risk of severe disease and mortality, regardless of their obesity status.

Danielle K. Longmore et al.

Summary: In adults hospitalized with COVID-19, overweight, obesity, and diabetes were associated with increased odds of requiring respiratory support but were not associated with death. In patients with diabetes, the odds of severe COVID-19 were not increased above the BMI-associated risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between obesity and in-hospital COVID-19 outcomes in different ethnic groups. The results showed that obesity was associated with elevated risks of adverse outcomes, with the strongest associations found in Black ethnicities.

Ethnicity-specific BMI cutoffs for obesity based on type 2 diabetes risk in England: a population-based cohort study

Rishi Caleyachetty et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify ethnicity-specific BMI cutoffs for obesity to prevent type 2 diabetes among non-White populations. The findings suggest that different ethnic populations have different BMI cutoffs equivalent to the risk of type 2 diabetes at a BMI of 30.0 kg/m(2) in White populations, highlighting the need for appropriate clinical surveillance for minority ethnic populations to optimize prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.

Thomas Yates et al.

Summary: Obesity and chronic disease are significant risk factors for in-hospital mortality in younger age groups with the combination of chronic disease and obesity posing the highest risk for patients under 50 years of age.

Associations between body-mass index and COVID-19 severity in 6.9 million people in England: a prospective, community-based, cohort study

Min Gao et al.

Summary: The study found that above a BMI of 23 kg/m(2), there is a linear increase in the risk of severe consequences of COVID-19 leading to hospital admission and death, and a linear increase in ICU admission risk across the entire BMI range. The impact of increasing BMI is particularly notable in individuals younger than 40 years and of Black ethnicity.

Samuel Seidu et al.

Summary: Obesity with excess ectopic fat storage is considered a risk factor for severe disease in people with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals with a BMI higher than 25kg/m² are at increased risk of severe illness, particularly in the age group of 60 years and older.
