First Brazilian study shows the risks of Covid-19 in obese.
....
Similar researches have already been carried out in other countries, such as the United States, China, France, Italy and Mexico. According to Nathaniel de Jesus Silva, one of the authors of the study, obesity had already been identified as a major risk factor for the more serious consequences of Covid-19 by foreign scientists.

In addition to being responsible, alone, for 1.33 times more deaths and 1.31 times more admissions of adults to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) , overweight also led 2.69 times more Brazilian adults and elderly to need of mechanical ventilation. In the elderly, the numbers are even more worrying. Obese people over 60 years were 1.40 times more admitted to ICU beds and died 1.67 times more than non-obese people.
The group evaluated data from more than 8,848 adults and 12,945 elderly people in the Flu Surveillance Information System (Sivep-Influenza). There, cases and deaths of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ( SRAG ) and Covid-19 are registered . The information is provided by the Ministry of Health and was captured by the Integrated Data Platform About Covid-19 (PDI-COVID-19) of the CoVida Network.
In cases where, in addition to obesity, the patients were also diabetic or had a cardiovascular disease, the number of ICU admissions was 1.6 times higher. The number of deaths was 1.79 times higher.
