Obesity and impaired metabolic health in patients with COVID-19
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2020•nature.com
Preliminary data suggest that people with obesity are at increased risk of severe COVID-19.
However, as data on metabolic parameters (such as BMI and levels of glucose and insulin)
in patients with COVID-19 are scarce, increased reporting is needed to improve our
understanding of COVID-19 and the care of affected patients.
