Quote:-Having obesity increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19. People who are overweight may also be at increased risk.
-Having obesity may triple the risk of hospitalization due to a COVID-19 infection.
-Obesity is linked to impaired immune function.
-Obesity decreases lung capacity and reserve and can make ventilation more difficult.
-More than 900,000 adult COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in the United States between the beginning of the pandemic and November 18, 2020. Models estimate that 271,800 (30.2%) of these hospitalizations were attributed to obesity.
-A study of COVID-19 cases suggests that risks of hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death are higher with increasing BMI.
-The increased risk for hospitalization or death was particularly pronounced in those under age 65.

Quote:In this retrospective chart review, almost 60% of all transgender adults were either overweight or obese.
