Dear friends, I have been mining to find studies which are relevant to us.
CDC has recently published one such study of 150000 subjects who suffered from #Covid
Obesity as expected is "the biggest Risk factor"
Also those patients who had very low unhealthy BMI suffered more.

BMI 23 - 25 has least morbidity & mortality
BMI 30 - 35 hospitalisation increases to 7%, ICU admissions of less than 1%
BMI > 35 associated with increased hospitalisation, ICU admissions & increased mortality.
BMI of 45+ is associated with very high ICU admissions & mortality
BMI 30 - 35 hospitalisation increases to 7%, ICU admissions of less than 1%
BMI > 35 associated with increased hospitalisation, ICU admissions & increased mortality.
BMI of 45+ is associated with very high ICU admissions & mortality
Also on the other hand those with BMI less than 18 had increased hospitalisation, ICU admissions & mortality.
I am certain many of us who were treating Covid patients had understood this by now. This study just shows that obesity is a big risk along with unhealthy low BMI.

It is time to include obesity as a comorbidity as a policy & give high risk scoring among obese patients.
