Abstract: (53 Views)
Background: Long coronavirus disease (COVID) has been defined as the persistence of symptoms, or the development of new symptoms, relating to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection late in the course of COVID-19, at least 28 days after diagnosis. There are clues that metabolic dysfunction may promote or enhance these syndromes. This study investigated the association between obesity, overweight, and long COVID in COVID-19 survivors.
Methods: This study used a meta-analysis from March 2022 until August 2022. Data were obtained from articles published in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Taylor and Francis. The comparison between obesity, overweight, and long COVID among COVID-19 survivors was calculated using a Z test. There were 269.574 patients with obesity, 3.741 patients with overweight, and 3.395 patients with normal/underweight, who were retrieved from four papers.
Results: The evidence for long-term COVID incidence appeared significantly higher in COVID-19 survivors with obesity than those with no obesity (OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.71). The results also showed that the risk of long-term COVID incidence increased in COVID-19 survivors with obesity than those with overweight (OR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.41). Moreover, the findings confirmed that COVID-19 survivors who were overweight had no significant difference in long-term COVID incidence than those not overweight (OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.84, 1.14).
Conclusion: Obesity has a significant association with COVID-19 patient survivors than overweight and have a higher risk of falling into long-term COVID-19 conditions.
