COVID-19, endemic, obesity, pandemicAbstract
COVID-19 has been declared by WHO as a pandemic since March 2020. The pandemic has caused major deaths in the world and has become the candidate for the third largest pandemic in history after the Black Death pandemic and the Spanish Flu pandemic. Many conditions have made the deaths in the COVID-19 pandemic become large, including collision with the obesity epidemic. The aim of this literature review is to discuss the relationship between obesity as a risk factor for high mortality COVID-19 and its management.
