We conducted a large-scale general population study using data from a community-dwelling sample in England (n = 334,329; 56.4 ±8.1 y; 54.5% women) with prospective linkage to national registry on hospitalization for COVID-19. Various cohort studies have shown overweight and obesity to be associated with both increased (1, 2) and decreased risk (3) of community-acquired pneumonia and other upper respiratory tract infections, and also to protect against mortality from pneumonia (4-6). Accordingly, we examined the aetiological relation of overweight and obesity with new cases of COVID-19 hospitalizations in a general population-based cohort study with available biomarker data.	./cache/cord-338416-vuu8x48x.txt	./txt/cord-338416-vuu8x48x.txt
