Abstract

Objective: To assess the magnitude of the risk of obesity in mortality by COVID-19. Materials and methods: Study is observational, descriptive, transversal, retrospective. The population corresponds to studies carried out on obesity as a risk factor for mortality by COVID-19, being found in the database of PubMed, Lilacs and Scielo 45 studies from which it was possible to reproduce a total of 07 that fulfilled the criteria of reproducibility, specificity and scientific rigor. Results: The global OR in the fixed effect model is 1.28 (IC95%=1.06 - 1.55) and in the random effect model is 1.30 (IC95%= 1.03 - 1.64) of the 7 studies analyzed on 7876 patients. The studies analyzed present 24.6% variation in OR attributable to heterogeneity, with the
heterogeneity being practically low. Having obesity increases the probability of dying from COVID-19 by 0.28
(28.3%) times compared to otherwise this pathological condition would be present during COVID-19.
Conclusions: Obesity is a risk factor that increases the probability of death from COVID-19
