Why obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and ethnicities are common risk factors for COVID‐19 and H1N1 influenza infections

Abstract: To the Editor, Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and specific ethnicities (Black and Hispanic) have been reported to be common comorbidities and possible risk factors for the severity of both coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and H1N1 influenza infections. 1,2 Thus, it is important to understand why these four risk factors are common to both COVID-19 and H1N1 influenza infections, and whether a common mechanism exists. Respiratory failure is the most important pathology that contributes to the severity of bot… Show more

“…All cases of new-onset DM in COVID-19 mentioned in the literature so far were associated with good outcomes. On the contrary, it is known that pre-existing DM and COVID-19 have a negative bidirectional relationship with unfavorable outcomes [ 15 , 18 ]. This could be related to the short duration of the newly diagnosed disease in case reports; moreover, the poor outcomes of patients previously diagnosed with DM in larger studies could be due to co-morbid conditions and preexisting disease complications.…”
