Corona Is More Dangerous For Fat People

Obese people have a higher risk of diseases such as heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. But now initial research has also revealed that obese people may be at higher risk of infection with Covid-19.
The answer to this question can be found definitively only after various studies but experts have tried to find the answer on the basis of some statistics.
A study of 17 people in the UK found that people who were obese and had a body-mass index above 30 had a 33 per cent higher mortality rate.
Another study found double the death rate in such people. Researchers say that this figure is even higher if other factors, such as heart disease and diabetes, are included.
A study of ICU admissions in the UK found that around 34.5 per cent were overweight and 31.5 per cent were obese and seven per cent were both obese and sick, while 26 per cent had a modest BSI. .
The ratio of body weight to height is called BMI. BMI shows that a person is overweight, obese and healthy.
The World Obesity Federation says a large number of people infected with the corona virus have a BMI of more than 25. Preliminary studies in the United States, Italy and China also found that high BMI was a significant factor.
In addition, older people may be more susceptible to corona infection.
Why are obese people at greater risk? The more weight you have, the more fat you will have in your body and the less fit you will be. This affects the capacity of your lungs. In addition, there is difficulty in accessing oxygen to the blood and then it affects the blood flow and the heart.
“People who are overweight need more oxygen, which puts more strain on their system,” says Naveed Sattar, a professor at the University of Glasgow.
It can be more dangerous during a corona-like infection.
“The most important part of an overweight body is the lack of oxygen,” says Dr. Diane Selaya of the University of Reading.
This is the reason why overweight or obese people need more oxygen in the ICU and their kidneys need special care.
Scientists have discovered that an exime called ACE-2 present in cells is the gateway to the body for the corona virus. This excimer is found in large amounts in fatty cells. People who are overweight have more fatty cells so they have a higher risk of coronary heart disease.
The most important reason why we are affected by infection is our immune system. It tells our body’s immune system during a virus attack. Obese people definitely don’t have this very good immune system. It damages macrophage fatty cells during infection.
According to scientists, ‘psychotin storm’ is produced in the body. It is a kind of reaction. Which can be fatal. This is because the body is more active than the immune system.
Dr. Ian explains that macrophages in a particular type of fat cell can easily become prey. This is because blacks and Africans who have such cells are more likely to have diabetes and are more susceptible to the virus.
Obesity also leads to other health problems. For example, weakening of the lungs. Kidney damage and type 2 diabetes.
Blood clots can form and in such a situation there is more pressure on the body.
All of these factors increase the risk for such patients after being affected by corona.
Obese people find it difficult to care in the hospital. There is also the problem of scanning or rotating them instead of being overweight.
So to stay healthy, eat less and a balanced diet and exercise and walk daily.
Walking, jogging and cycling are better options. This can also be done by following social distressing.
