Moderate and severe obesity puts you at a greater risk of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Among COVID-19 survivors, risk of hospital admissions after the acute phase of the disease was found to be 30% higher in patients with obesity.
A Cleveland Clinic study shows that survivors of COVID-19 who have moderate or severe obesity may have a greater risk of experiencing long-term consequences of the disease, compared with patients who do not have obesity. The study was recently published online in the journal of Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.
