Corona virus: losing weight reduces the risk of complications

According to a new US study, obese patients who have had bariatric surgery have a lower risk of developing a severe form of corona or Covid-19, according to Top Sante; What is stated in the new study?

We know obesity is a risk factor for severe forms of Covid-19. Having a body mass index (BMI) above 30 exposes you to more serious complications after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. According to a new study conducted by the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, “substantial” weight loss would therefore allow obese

patients to reduce the risk of developing the severe form of Covid-19. To reach this conclusion, American researchers studied medical data on 20,122 obese patients. Among them, 5,053 patients underwent bariatric surgery between 2004 and 2017. Follow more:

Reduced risk of hospitalization after bariatric surgery

The first information: Since the beginning of the Corona epidemic, 9.1% of patients who underwent bariatric surgery and 8.7% of patients who did not undergo bariatric surgery have been infected.

The researchers noted that patients who underwent bariatric surgery had an approximately 49% lower risk of hospitalization due to SARS-CoV-2. They also had a lower risk (63%) of needing oxygen therapy or developing severe symptoms of Covid-19 (63%).

The scientists, who published their work in the specialized journal JAMA Surgery, concluded: “This work suggests that weight loss may improve the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in obese patients.”
