Obesity 'increases risks from Covid-19'

Being obese doubles the risk of hospital treatment from Covid-19 and increases the risk of dying by nearly 50%, a global analysis suggests.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

Obesity makes other diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure more likely, the US researchers say.

Along with a weakened immune system, this can make these individuals more vulnerable to severe Covid-19.

They also warn a vaccine against coronavirus could be less effective in obese people.

This is based on the fact that flu vaccines don't work as well in those with a body mass index (BMI) of over 30.
