Obesity and COVID-19 Infection Severity: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Implications

Obesity is a significant public health concern with higher morbidity. Obesity patients are at risk of severe COVID-19 infection and obesity is a higher risk factor for intensive Care Unit admission in COVID-19 infection.
