Overweight and obesity as risk factors for COVID-19-associated hospitalisations and death: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Yang et al found similar results concerning hospital admission (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.22 to 3.60), IMV (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.73) and death (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.45), but did not reach statistical significance for ICU admission (OR 3.10, 95% CI 0.76 to 12.61). 7 Another study by Yang et al 13 found a significant result for hospital admission (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.57) with only two studies and reported results for death (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.42) similar to our findings.
