What is the biggest risk factor for Covid-19 infection and complications
After over 7 million infections in the country have been documented it is clearer that certain individuals are at greater risk for serious or fatal outcomes from the disease than others. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Patients with obesity, and particularly those with severe obesity, were among those faring the worst. In one study, patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher were found to be at significantly increased risk for severe COVID-19, and those with a BMI of 35 and higher had a dramatically increased risk of death. Another found severe obesity to be a profound risk factor for death from COVID-19 in men age 60 and younger. Meta-analyses confirmed these findings.”
As of now, we do not have a cure for the virus and the prospect of a vaccine still months away, it is more important than ever for those with obesity, need to take action to decrease their fat percentages to decrease their risk of death due to the virus.
