Abstract
Obesity in Patients Younger Than 60 Years Is a Risk Factor for COVID-19 Hospital AdmissionTo the Editor-Risk factors for infectious disease severity are determined by the pathogen, host, and environment [1].Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, includes a spectrum of illness, from asymptomatic infection [2] to severe pneumonia characterized by acute respiratory injury in about 20% of patients presenting to medical care [3].The risk factors associated with disease severity include increased age, diabetes, immunosuppression, and organ failure [3].Recognition of risk factors for morbidity and mortality is important to determine prevention strategies as well as to target high-risk populations for potential therapeutics.We performed a retrospective analysis of body mass index (BMI) stratified by age in COVID-19-positive symptomatic patients who presented to a large academic hospital system in New York associated with traditional pork salami in Italy.
