Methods: This study  was conducted a literature review method. There are ten articles obtained from online databases at Pubmed, Google Schoolar and the Wiley Online Library.

Result: The results of various studies using cohort and cross-sectional study designs show that obesity has a statistically significant association with increasing risk for the severity of COVID-19. Obese individuals infected with COVID-19 suffer severe and critical symptoms that impact patients admitted to ICU, intubation and death.

Conclusion : Obesity increase the risk for severity of COVID-19.  Maintain healthy life style, including routine exercise, choice of healthy food and routine medical checkup may reduce the risk of severity of COVID-19
