The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected >610 million people globally, exerting major social, economic, and health impacts. Despite the large number of global casualities and severe symptomatology associated with COVID-19, a large number of individuals remain at elevated risk of infection and severe outcomes related to poor lifestyle behaviors and/or associated comorbidities. Beyond the well-known social distance and masking policies, maintaining an active lifestyle, minimizing the consumption of tobacco products, and maintaining an adequate nutrition status are some of the key factors that, in an affordable and accessible way, have the potential to improve health and minimize COVID-19 impact. In addition, bringing awareness of the higher risks and poor prognosis of COVID-19 when other conditions are present seems to be essential to protect those individuals with the highest risks.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行已在全球影响了超过 6.1 亿人，造成了重大的社会、经济和健康影响。尽管 COVID-19 导致了大量的全球死亡和严重的症状，但仍有大量人面临着因不良生活方式行为和/或相关合并症而导致感染和严重后果的高风险。除了众所周知的社交距离和戴口罩政策外，保持积极的生活方式、尽量减少烟草制品的消费和保持充足的营养状态是一些关键因素，这些因素以负担得起且可及的方式，有可能改善健康状况并最大限度地减少 COVID-19 的影响。此外，当存在其他疾病时，提高对 COVID-19 更高风险和不良预后的认识似乎对于保护那些风险最高的个体至关重要。
