Are obese people more at risk of severe coronavirus infection?

In 2019, a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 began to attack people and mainly cause respiratory disorders. To limit the spread of the virus, countries have begun to introduce a series of measures. As is commonly known, physical activity is key to maintaining health and fitness.

1. Obesity and coronavirus infection

Obesity has been shown to be associated with high blood pressure, coronary coronavirus, diabetes mellitus, coronal disease, kidney disease, or heart failure. In people with diabetes, there is an increase in blood glucose levels and a decrease in B lymphocyte function, which leads to a reduction in the ability to induce an appropriate metabolic response in the case of coronavirus immunodeficiency virus corona-2. Why is it that many people with COVID-19 who have been diagnosed as having a higher risk of developing coronal blood sugar in the context of COVID-19 have also been prevented from having an increased intracranial blood sugar response (as opposed to the increased activity of blood cells in the body due to increased blood sugar levels), which can also lead to a higher rate of blood sugar infection in the bloodstream and bloodstream, which can lead to higher levels of blood pressure in the tissues from the body to the body, as well as the increased body weight and body weight in the T-CoV-2 virus, which has a significantly increased impact on the body over time, and on the overall body weight of those who have undergone treatment for COVID-19?

2. Is the COVID-19 pandemic worse than the obesity epidemic?

If there is a further increase in the prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases in the Polish and global populations, appropriate preventive measures should be taken. Furthermore, social distancing should also be taken into account to increase the feeling of loneliness. Björntorp 2017). There may also be episodes of the need for negative emotions. However, if there will be further increases in the incidence of obeseness and metabolical diseases in people with lower socio-economic status. In addition, the introduction of a social distance should be given more consideration to the negative impact of the pandemic on metabolic health.
