Obesity is a major risk factor for COVID related morbidity and mortality. We have been experiencing an ever increasing obesity rate in US for years and its consequences such as increased rate of diabetes and heart disease. Perhaps it is also time to address the silent obesity epidemic and improve our nation’s health.

“Increasing COVID-19 caseloads were associated with countries with higher obesity (adjusted rate ratio [RR]=1.06; 95%CI: 1.01–1.11), median population age (RR=1.10; 95%CI: 1.05–1.15) and longer time to border closures from the first reported case (RR=1.04; 95%CI: 1.01–1.08). Increased mortality per million was significantly associated with higher obesity prevalence (RR=1.12; 95%CI: 1.06–1.19)”.
