People who are overweight or obese are at a much higher risk of much more severe disease and even death from Covid-19, and one new study suggests that losing weight can reduce that risk.Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Resolutions for making 2022 a better, healthier yearThe obesity epidemic has been a threat to Americans' health for years. It's the second leading cause of preventable death, after smoking. With Covid-19, it becomes even more dangerous.
A better central distribution of weight is key, she said."If that were better, they would likely have fewer complications from Covid and fewer deaths," Cody Stanford said."Just looking at the weight in and of itself without looking at the whole picture would be a flawed way of thinking of it." Based on studies of other diseases, Popkin says, even a person who is overweight but loses 5 pounds can see improvement in their diabetes and hypertension.
