Objective: to analyze the risk of mortality from COVID-19 in people with obesity. Methods: observational, retrospective, and analytical study. Data were collected in the State System of Data Analysis. For the comparative analysis of people with and without obesity, n=168,808 was adopted. The analyses were performed using the log-binomial regression model and relative risk calculation. The comparative model was adjusted for sex, age group, heart disease and diabetes. Results: in more than 95% of COVID-19 notifications, information regarding the risk factor obesity was recorded as ignored. Obese individuals with COVID-19 had 26% higher risk of death when compared to those without obesity. Obese individuals in the 11 to 60 age groups had the highest mortality risks compared to individuals without obesity. Obese women in the age groups 31 to 50 years and elderly women over 71 years had the lowest mortality risk when compared to obese men. Conclusion: obese people, especially adults, have an increased risk of mortality from COVID-19. Contributions to practice: to help establish public health strategies to identify the profiles of individuals considered at high risk in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
O estudo teve como objetivo analisar a mortalidade de Covid-19 em pessoas com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) no estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados a partir do Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados, referente ao período de fevereiro de 2020 a julho de 2021. Todas as comparações foram analisadas por meio do modelo de regressão log-binomial e cálculo de risco relativo. O modelo em que foi comparado os pacientes com e sem DM foi ajustado por sexo, faixa etária, cardiopatia e obesidade, possíveis variáveis de confusão. Dentre todos os achados, foi obtido como relevante e primordial que os homens com DM que estavam dentre a faixa etária de 21 a 30 anos apresentaram 74,28% maior risco de morte quando comparados aos homens sem DM. Portanto, é de suma importância e extremamente necessário acompanhar as mudanças dos perfis etários e das pessoas consideradas de alto risco para a redução da mortalidade.
