Obesity Increases COVID-19 Mortality Rate

Scientists from the University of Texas and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee investigated the relationship between COVID-19 and obesity. According to the study, COVID-19 was more deadly for adult populations living in areas with high levels of obesity.

The relationship of the COVID-19 virus with various other diseases is being investigated by scientists and institutions. It was concluded that the rate of obesity, especially in children, increased in the closures caused by the virus, which caused deaths in many parts of the world. Another study was conducted on the relationship between obesity and COVID-19.

The relationship between COVID-19 and obesity was investigated by scientists from the University of Texas and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. According to the study, COVID-19 was more deadly for adult populations living in areas with high levels of obesity. Indeed, obesity is also viewed by researchers as an epidemic driven largely by high-calorie diets loaded with sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

Body weight leads to greater exposure to COVID-19

For this study, scientists analyzed the associations between COVID-19 mortality and overweight in approximately 5.5 billion adults from 154 countries around the world. The researchers used the latest statistical analysis techniques to identify potential patterns in the data. It has been noted that excess body weight causes the COVID-19 virus to become more severe, and as a result, causes various different diseases that can lead to death. It can also lead to higher exposure to COVID-19, as excess body weight can result in greater volume and longer duration of transmission.

As a result of the research; On average, each percentage increase in overweight in the adult population adds up to a 3.5% increase in COVID-19 death rates. This means obesity is a serious additive risk for COVID-19.
