The meta-analysis demonstrated that obesity was associated with composite poor outcome (OR 1.73 [1.40, 2.14], P <0.001; I2: 55.6%), mortality (OR 1.55 [1.16, 2.06], P =0.003; I2: 74.4%), and severity (OR 1.90 [1.45, 2.48], P <0.001; I2: 5.2%) in patients with COVID-19. Conclusion Dose-response meta-analysis demonstrated that increased BMI was associated with increased poor outcome in patients with COVID-19. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the association between obesity and poor outcome (mortality and severity) in patients with COVID-19 and explore the doseresponse relationship between BMI and poor outcome in these patients by pooling data from observational studies. Our meta-analysis showed that obesity was associated with composite poor outcome, mortality, and severity of COVID-19.	./cache/cord-307791-59ja1ith.txt	./txt/cord-307791-59ja1ith.txt
