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.
