No evidence was found that obesity is a risk factor in COVID-19 infection in the older patients.

OK, I could be wrong, but I think this is utter nonsense!

I think the best possible state for an older person to be in if they contract covid is to be of reasonable weight and well-nourished.

To be old, thin, frail and undernourished is obliviously a problem but it does not mean being well-fed, old and fat is good...

And I would think that being old, fat, and poorly-nourished would be about the worst condition.

Don't be poorly-nourished and don't be fat is my recommendation...seems pretty intuitive to me...

Being fat and old is NOT good.

I would guess always being healthy and in good shape is desired.
Another useless study.

“OK, I could be wrong, but I think this is utter nonsense!”

totally ... every other study has shown that obesity and Type 1 Diabetes are THE major covid-fatal comorbidities ... I’ve also noticed that almost everything posted here from medicalxpress is nonsense ...

I’ve never seen any really old fat people, except those that are at deaths door and screwed up three ways to Sunday. They don’t exist!
