Doctors have proven that having extra pounds significantly increases the risk of a severe course of coronavirus.
Overweight patients were more often hospitalized and more likely to die after being infected with the virus COVID-19.
The study was conducted by experts from the public health agency Public Health England (UK) for the Ministry of Health, writes the Daily Mail.
The discovery worried the British so much that the Prime Minister of the country Boris Johnson himself commented on it.
Obese people die from coronavirus twice as often. If you want to protect yourself from coronavirus, lose weight. This is a great prevention method and will also improve your health!Note that the risk group included people whose body mass index exceeds 25. Scores between 25 and 29.9 predict a higher chance of hospitalization. People with a body mass index between 30 and 35 are 40% more likely to die from the coronavirus.
And if the indicators of excess weight are even higher, then the mortality rate doubles.
