Obesity, measured as body mass index (BMI), is reported to associate with increase the risk of developing severe pneumonia in COVID-19 [1] . Indeed, the risk correlated to obesity with COVID-19 severity is greater in metabolic associated fatty liver patients [2] . Aim of this prospective observational study, in patients admitted to ICU for COVID-19, is to evaluate the relationship between FM% and immune-inflammatory response, after 10 days in ICU. Rather than considering only the BMI, patients recruited in this study were categorized in two sets: "lean" or "obese" according to FM% and age, based on criteria presented by De Lorenzo [15] . Obesity as a risk factor for greater severity of COVID-19 in patients with metabolic associated fatty liver disease	./cache/cord-272349-cqzfjg5t.txt	./txt/cord-272349-cqzfjg5t.txt
