Obesity-related wellbeing costs derive so from its short and long-term co-morbidities. Firstly, obese children are at higher danger of glucose intolerance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The present study objective is to assess the prevalence and risk factors of childhood obesity during covid-19 in urban center Ramapuram. The Descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized for this investigation. The independent variable in this study is Prevalence and risk factor of obesity on covid -19. The dependent variables in this study are obesity among childhood. The study was conducted at the Ramapuram urban centre among childhood who attending obesity during covid-19. The study was conducted at Ramapuram Urban centre, The sample size is 30samples. Out of which 30samples in urban. People who satisfied the sampling criteria and are accessible at selected village during the period. The results of the survey showed that regarding age group out of 30samples of 15(50%) samples were Toddler, 9(30%) were Preschooler, 6(20%) were under school age. Majority of them had adequate knowledge 55%. Obesity, glucose intolerance and hypertension in childhood were strongly associated within premature death from endogenous causes in this population.

Background: The older population is often disproportionately and adversely affected during humanitarian emergencies, as has also been seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data regarding COVID-19 in older adults is usually over-generalized and does not delve into details of the clinical characteristics in them. This study was conducted to analyze clinical and laboratory characteristics, risk factors, and complications of COVID-19 between older adults who survived and those who did not. Methods: We conducted a case-control study among older adults(age> 60 years) admitted to the Intensive Care Unit(ICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The non-survivors(cases) were matched with age and sex-matched survivors (control) in a ratio of 1: 3. The data regarding socio-demographics, clinical characteristics, complications, treatment, laboratory data, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: The most common signs and symptoms observed were fever (cases vs controls)(68.92 vs. 68.8%), followed by shortness of breath (62.2% Vs. 52.2%), and cough(47.3% Vs. 60.2%). Our analysis found no association between the presence of any of the comorbidities and mortality. At admission, laboratory markers such as LDH(Lactate Dehydrogenase), WBC(White Blood Count), creatinine, CRP(C-Reactive Protein), D-dimer, ferritin, and IL-6 were found to be significantly higher among the cases than among the controls. Complications such as the development of seizure, bacteremia, acute renal injury, respiratory failure, and septic shock were seen to have a significant association with non-survivors. Conclusions: Hypoxia, tachycardia, and tachypnoea at presentation were associated with higher mortality. The older adults in this study mostly presented with the typical clinical features of COVID-19 pneumonia. The presence of comorbid-illnesses among them did not affect mortality. Higher death was seen among those with higher levels of CRP, LDH, D-dimer, and ferritin; and with lower lymphocyte counts.
