The analysis showed that a high body mass index (especially obesity), an elevated FBG level, an elevated LDH level, and urinary protein positivity were all risk factors for severe COVID-19 in these young patients. A recently published study from China also showed that in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease patients, obesity can increase the risk for severe COVID-19 by about 6-fold [22] . Notably, in the present study, all of the severely or critically ill COVID-19 patients were males, an observation which may also be related to the distribution of obesity in China.
