Old age and comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease, were identified as risk factors of poor outcomes for COVID-19 patients according previous studies (3, 4) . Obesity was regarded as a common risk factor to aggravate the severity of respiratory diseases, which was associated with poor prognosis in influenza A (H1N1) pulmonary infection (5, 6) . A retrospective study enrolled 124 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) showed more patients required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) therapy with increased body mass index (BMI) (12) . Several studies have demonstrated that the presence of type 2 diabetes was a significant risk factor of severe illness and fatal outcome of COVID-19 (24) (25) (26) .	./cache/cord-354928-brliql4d.txt	./txt/cord-354928-brliql4d.txt
