- Abstract
As this issue of I Clinical Obesity i goes to press, the world is reeling from the health, economic and social impact of the global pandemic of COVID-19 (the disease) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On April 17, the World Health Organization had recorded 2 034 802 cases affecting 213 countries and causing 135 163 confirmed deaths.[1] A key emerging issue has been the extent to which those living with obesity are more at risk of the disease. Nor do we yet have data on outcomes for those with obesity and less serious COVID-19 disease in terms of progression to more serious severity requiring critical care or mortality.
