ABSTRACT
Background:
The authorities recently emphasized the importance of dietary control for COVID-19 patients in hospitals. However, there is limited detail about the obesity and death of COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized in the Asian and Western countries. The aim of this study was to find the role of obesity and mortality of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients. A systematic review of the studies on obesity and mortality of hospitalized COVID.19 patients in the Asian and western countries.Methods:
Databases of ProQuest, PubMed, and EBSCO were used to find relevant articles published between January 2020 and March 2021. A total of 3,70,836 patients in 17 studies were included.Results:
We found significant correlation between obesity and mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients (pooled odds ratio [POR] = 1.28, 95% CI 1.23-1.33). In particular, this study demonstrated that the Asian countries had higher POR (1.44, 95% CI 1.16-1.79) compared to the western countries (1.28, 95%CI 1.23-1.33). The heterogeneity calculation showed heterogenous among studies included (I2 > 50%).Conclusions:
The mortality of COVID-19-hospitalized patients is related to obesity, which requires a multi-stakeholder mitigation approach to avoid and control obesity and its impacts.Conclusions:
The mortality of COVID-19-hospitalized patients is related to obesity, which requires a multi-stakeholder mitigation approach to avoid and control obesity and its impacts.
