Just in time for World Obesity Day, the World Obesity Association released a full report, for a very current occasion. The long article discusses the connection between corona disease and obesity.
On the one hand, obesity is a disease in itself, but it also affects the risks of many other diseases, including Covid-19. The report’s figures make this very clear: in countries where less than half of adults are considered overweight, the risk of dying from Covid-19 is only one-tenth that of countries where more than half of adults are overweight .
Necessary treatments
According to the report, 2.2 million of the total of about 2.5 million corona deaths worldwide (as of the end of February 2021) live in countries where more than half of adults are overweight.
In addition, the results of the study also show that the “overweight” factor, in addition to other aspects such as age, also makes medical treatment necessary for those with corona.
