COVID-19 Patients with Obesity are Autoimmune and not Neutralizing for SARS-Cov-2-Specific Antibodies

Obesity is an inflammatory conditions related with inflammaging and chronic IA, contributing to useful impairment of immune cells, and diminished immunity. Obese men and women have been shown to respond poorly, to infections, vaccination, and remedies for autoimmune conditions. Therefore, weight problems represent risk factor for COVID-19 patients. A strong association between obesity, obesity-associated comorbidities, and extreme effects of COVID-19 has certainly been shown, with adult COVID-19 symptomatic sufferers with Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30 showing higher admission to acute and indispensable care in contrast to lean and obese persons (BMI < 30). These effects have been demonstrated in section in a multi-site prospective cohort of non-hospitalized people in whom weight problems used to be observed to be related with the presence of a couple of COVID-19 symptoms. However, in this cohort weight problems used to be no longer related with expanded risk of infection.
