Associations between BMI and Covid-19 severity in 6·9 M people in England
- curmudgeon22 5y agoVery interesting table in the appendix, linked to in the "Supplementary" section [0]. The table is "Supplemental Table 2. Attributable risks and fractions in risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes associated with BMI across age groups" on page 5. The main datapoint is that for a BMI of 23, there is very little risk.
