The growing prevalence of overweight and obesity has been a worldwide public health issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, obesity is associated with a higher risk of severity and a worse clinical outcome of SARS-COV-2 infection. This may be because of the chronic low-grade inflammation, impaired immune response and metabolic disorders in obese patients. In this narrative review, we have summarized the association between obesity and COVID-19 and discussed the potential pathogenesis and treatment in these patients. This work may provide practical suggestions on the clinical management of obese COVID-19 patients.
超重和肥胖患病率的不断上升已成为一个全球性的公共卫生问题。在新冠疫情期间,肥胖与感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)后病情加重及临床预后较差的风险相关。这可能是由于肥胖患者存在慢性低度炎症、免疫反应受损及代谢紊乱。在这篇叙述性综述中,我们总结了肥胖与新冠病毒病(COVID-19)之间的关联,并讨论了这些患者潜在的发病机制及治疗方法。这项工作可为肥胖的COVID-19患者的临床管理提供实用建议。
