来自法国和英国的数据显示，与普通人口数据相比，住进重症监护病房(ICU)的新冠肺炎患者的肥胖率高出不成比例的比例。1、2在英国，大约10%的ICU患者的BMI为40公斤/平方米或更高，有证据表明这一群体的死亡率增加。2、3英国政府建议那些体重指数至少为40公斤/平方米的人在遵循社交距离措施时要特别严格。这一信息在许多肥胖患者中造成了困惑和恐惧，因为他们不确定自己的风险或他们应该采取什么行动，包括ABMI为30公斤/平方米或更高的人，他们在ICU中的比例也很高，但没有被列为风险人群。3我们咨询了肥胖患者，并在这篇评论中总结了主要的思考，并形成了行动呼吁(附录第2-5页)。这是对英国疫情高峰期新冠肺炎影响的坦率描述。报道的影响既有身体上的，也有精神上的，很可能会产生多年的持久影响。我们压倒性地听说了对感染新冠肺炎的真诚而强烈的恐惧，许多人害怕如果他们被允许进入医院，就无法获得医疗支持
Data from France and the UK have showed a disproportionately higher prevalence of obesity in patients with COVID-19 admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) compared with general population data. 1, 2 About 10% of ICU patients in the UK have a BMI of 40 kg/m² or more, and evidence shows increased mortality among this group. 2, 3 The UK Government advice for those with a BMI of at least 40 kg/m² is to be particularly stringent in following social distancing measures. This message has created confusion and fear among many people living with obesity because of uncertainty about their risk or what actions they should take, including people with aBMI of 30 kg/m² or more, who are also over-represented in ICU but not listed as at risk. 3 We consulted with people living with obesity and summarise in this Comment the main reflections, formulated into a call for action (appendix pp 2–5). It is a candid account of the impact of COVID-19 during the peak of the pandemic in the UK. The reported effects were both physical and mental, and are likely to have a lasting impact for many years. Overwhelmingly, we heard of genuine, all-consuming fears of contracting COVID-19, with many people afraid of not getting medical support if they were admitted to
