Objectives:

Clinical features and risk factors are highly variable for Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Researchers investigate for the prediction of people who have high risk of developing severe illness and dying. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of obesity on the course of COVID-19. Materials and

Methods:

Patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 were retrospectively screened between March 11 and April 30. Anthropometric measures including standing height and body weight were measured at admission. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated and patients were classified into three groups as BMI< 25, BMI 25-29.99, and BMI30 according to the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of obesity in Turkey.
