Do you have a body mass index on 25? If so, you are not alone. A complete set of 69% of Americans are overweight (IMC 25 to 29.9 years) or obese (IMC 35-39.9) - President Donald Trump, which has just contracts Covid-19. Of these people, 6.9% are seriously obese (which means a BMI of more than 40 years). Although Trump is said "right now", as your BMI increases, so you risk severe infection and death of Covid. Obesity increases the risk of arterial hypertension, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic liver disease and various types Cancer. These medical conditions occur much more often in hospitalized people with a serious COVID infection, the main experts to believe that obesity is the common underlying factor.

A recent study in the United Kingdom found that the risk of CIVID-19 infection increased as the BMI and the circumference of size increase. Being overweight, obese or severe obese (having a BMI greater than 40) increased the risk of COVID infection by 31%, 55% and 57%, respectively.

A recent study This analyzed 387,019 members of the United Kingdom Biobank found that being overweight or obese increase the risk of hospitalization of a COVID infection of 32% and 97% respectively.

AMay 2020 The study published in the British Medical Journal reported that people with severe obesity and obesity were respectively four and six times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than people with IMC less than 30.

Recent meta-analysis published in theVirology newspaper Concluded that obesity increased the risk of serious covidation infection of a factor of 2.5 and the risk of low outcome of a factor of 2.3.

A recent meta-analysis published in the journalObesity, research and clinical practice looked at 403,535 Covid-19 patients and concluded that, compared to those who have a normal IMC, being obese

• doubled the risk of being seriously ill;
• Almost quadrupled the risk of dying;
• and increasing the risk of respiratory support almost seven times.

Many studies have reported that the risk of dying of Covid increases with higher BMIs. InMay 2020, theBritish medical newspaper Published a study of 20,133 patients with COVID-19. Those who were obese had a risk of dying of 33% higher.

Obesity is known to alter immunity to other respiratory viruses (such as influenza) and reduces response to influenza vaccine. High blood glucose and diabetes, associated with obesity, have also been linked to more morbidity and mortality resulting from other infection by otherscoronavirusExample, those who caused an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and the respiratory syndrome epidemic of the Middle East (seas) in 2012.

Be obese results inAltered lung function Because there are large grease deposits in the thoracic wall, the thorax cavity (thorax) and the abdominal cavity (under the diaphragm). This means that obesity makes the chest relatively compressed - so even without being infected by Covid-19, obese individuals must work stronger to breathe.

Obesity increases the risk of "cytokine storm", an excess reaction of the immune system causes inflammation throughout the body, alteration of respiration and other essential functions. It is seen in some of the most severe COVID-19 cases and can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARD), which can be fatal.

Obesity is associated withchronic inflammation. People with higher levels of BMIs have oftenmetabolic syndrome, a medical condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and systemic inflammation (body).

When you are overweight or obese, if you are infected with Covid-19, your immune system is already on the point of infection, which will allow you a higher risk of severe lung disease that may require admission to the hospital. Hospital , critical care and mechanical ventilation.

The CDC reports that the risk of death isten times higherCOVID-19 Infection in people with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

Adipocytes (adipose cells) produce a hormone called laptine, which regulates the appetite. High duptin levels make you feel full and tell you to stop eating.

Strangely, obese people tend to have higher ductine levels, probably because of the resistance of laptin.High leptin Levels accelerate atherosclerosis, damaging blood vessels and lowering HDL ("good") cholesterol. Leptin is a cell signaling molecule that triggers the production of inflammatory cytokines and triggers the inflammation waterfall.

The good news is that laptin levels fall with a weight reduction.

Many studies have shown that obese people tend to have aBad eating habits, often eating large amounts of rapid restoration and transformed food.

This diet causes changes to theGUT Microbiome, increasing the "leaks" of the meter of the Gut. This means that bacteria, viruses and toxins can go from the intestine in the bloodstream, exacerbating systemic inflammation.

Fat is not an inactive tissue. In reality,visceral grease (or belly fat) produces a large number of cytokines, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and the tumor-α necrosis factor (TNF-α). EatRich diet in fats has been demonstrated to increase the production of these cytokines.

Lipotoxicity Occurs when you consume as much diet as the greasy cells can no longer store. Excess fat flowed into the blood, liver, heart and kidneys. These fats are toxic and can cause damage to the organ as a disease of the non-alcoholic liver, heart failure and renal failure. Twenty-five percent of the American population would have lipotoxicity.

Obesity causes an increase in levels ofoxidative stress, which can destroy the tissues and alter your immune system. It also has very specific effects to Covid-19. Oxidative stress can prevent red blood cells from freeing oxygen, and it seems to increase damage to air bags in the lungs. It also stimulates blood coagulation, which can lead toMicrovascular thrombosis, an often mortal complication of COVID-19.

Some researchers suggested thatCOVID-19 can use The excess tissue adiposse (fat) as a cache where it can reproduce, facilitate viral loss and transmission of infection.

There are some evidence that people living with obesity worse worseSymptoms of COVID than those with a normal IMC.

If you are overweight or obese, you do not need to define unrealistic targets. Just lose 5% of your body weight. Truly. Simply lose5% of your body weight Reduce insulin resistance and relieve oxidative stress-two major health benefits.

In addition to that, do everything you can to prevent you from installing-covid-19: wear your face mask, test yourself if you think of coronaviruses, avoid crowds (and bars and evenings of the house), practice social distance, that works only races, wash your hands regularly, disinfect frequently affected areas, and to cross this pandemic at your healthier, do not miss these 35 places you are most likely to catch Covid .
