Abstract

COVID-19 and obesity are thought to pose a dual threat to public health care systems. Obesity has been identified as a vital risks factor toward COVID-19 in several researches, trials, and medical reports; specifically, and has been identified as the predominant risk factor among younger individuals. This work uses literature searches, case studies, and data analysis to investigate the interrelation between Novel Coronavirus and obesity in order to enhance research papers, related scientific articles, and periodicals on the subject. During the investigation, it was discovered that several hospitals, medical institutes, and organizations did not place enough emphasis on COVID-19 treatment in obese individuals. The author believes that obese patients with Novel Coronavirus complications would have more severe physical responses, and that obesity-related risk factors, such as inflammation and blood clotting, lead to severe COVID-19.
