“…Many studies reported COVID‐19 hospitalizations, but only a few reported the relationship between individuals with obesity and hospitalization. We identified 19 studies that examined the relationship and included them in this analysis 1,28,38,40,44,47–58 . Table S4 presents the results 1,45,47,48,59,60 ; all showed a significantly higher prevalence of individuals with obesity among hospitalized patients than among patients not hospitalized or the general population.…”

“…A total of 777 records were collected by the databases and manual searching. After the exclusion of the duplicates, review articles, case reports, pre‐printed versions without peer‐review, and irrelevant studies by title or abstract screening, 187 studies remained for full‐text review; 52 studies 6,17‐67 were finally included into the meta‐analysis, and 18 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis (Figure 1). A total of 52 records involving 10 614 COVID‐19 patients confirmed between December 25, 2019, and June 1, 2020, were included.…”

“…Information collected at the time of triage and emergency department evaluation included demographic variables, medical history of comorbidities including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, hypertension, immunosuppression, HIV infection, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic liver disease (CLD), smoking habits and current symptoms, as described elsewhere [11]. Physical examination included weight (measured in kilograms) and height (measured in meters) to estimate the body-mass index (BMI) and vital signs including oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), temperature and arterial blood pressure (BP).…”
