News desk: Researchers have claimed that obese people are more likely to die from coronavirus (Covid-19). In the countries where the rate of obesity is higher, the death rate in covid 19 is also higher in those countries.

Analysts at the Johns Hopkins University analyzed data on covidosis in the world, and researchers at the World Obesity Federation found the figure. They found that in countries where at least 50 percent of adults are obese, the death rate is 10 times higher than in other countries.

According to the research report, out of the 2.5 million people who have died in Kovid-19 in the world, 2.2 million people are from countries where people are prone to obesity. Data analysis did not find any countries where obesity rates were low; But the death rate in Kovid is high, which is quite surprising.
Tom Lobstein, an expert adviser to the Obesity Federation and a professor at the University of Sydney in Australia, who co-authored the report, said: “Look at Japan and South Korea.

According to Johns Hopkins University, 11.5 million people worldwide have been infected with covid so far. Of these, 25 lakh 71 thousand have died. More than half a million of the dead are U.S. citizens. More than two and a half million died in Brazil, and more than one and a half million in Mexico and India.

A quarter of a million people have died in Kovid in the UK. This number is 96 thousand in Italy, 6 thousand in France, 6 thousand in Russia, 61 thousand in Germany and 60 thousand in Spain.
