NON-WHITE ETHNICITY, MALE SEX, AND HIGHER BODY MASS INDEX, BUT NOT MEDICATIONS ACTING ON THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) HOSPITALISATION: REVIEW OF THE FIRST 669 CASES FROM THE UK BIOBANK	2020-05-15		.txt	text/plain	3577	196	43	Non-white ethnicity, male sex, greater BMI, diabetes, hypertension, prior MI, and smoking were independently associated with COVID-19 positivity compared to the remining cohort (test negatives plus untested). Conclusions: Among participants tested for COVID-19 with presumed moderate to severe symptoms in a hospital setting, non-white ethnicity, male sex, and higher BMI are associated with a positive result. The aim of this study is to examine the first-released data from the UKB to establish the association between COVID-19 positivity and demographic factors (age, sex, ethnicity), cardiometabolic factors [body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, prior myocardial infarction (MI), smoking], and ACEi/ARB use. In this analysis of the first release of 1,474 COVID-19 test results from the UKB, non-white ethnicity, male sex, greater BMI, diabetes, hypertension, prior MI and smoking were independently associated with COVID-19 positive test in comparison to rest of the cohort (tested negatives plus untested).	./cache/cord-279648-ft62m7zz.txt	./txt/cord-279648-ft62m7zz.txt
