Abstract
The infectious disease COVID-19, induced by virus SARS-CoV-2, is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of 2020, the recognition of its risk and prognostic factors with the identification of the most vulnerable groups of population is highly relevant. The relationship between the severity of COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cancer has been confirmed. The management of patients with concomitant somatic pathology during the development of COVID-19 is widely discussed. Obesity is one of the most common noninfectious diseases in modern society, which can directly and indirectly aggravate the course and increase mortality from COVID-19. Obesity is also considered a risk factor for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. This review presents data on the effects of obesity on the coronavirus infection and the management of obese patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
