To change our eating habits! UK scientists have discovered through a study that people who suffer from obesity are more likely to lose immunity and protection against Covid-19 despite being vaccinated and continuous use of booster doses will be necessary to avoid suffering the virus.
Vaccines against this disease are effective in reducing symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths caused by the virus.. Studies have shown that antibody levels may be lower in people with obesity and that they may still be at higher risk of severe disease than people of normal weight.
In times of pandemic, patients suffering from this anomaly were more likely to be hospitalized, require artificial respirators, and die from Covid-19. Thanks to a follow-up of 3 million people, it was discovered that people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40% are more likely to suffer serious consequences from Covid-19 than those with a normal BMI.
Obesity alters the vaccine response and increases virus infection. The solution to this type of situation is the implementation of frequent booster doses to increase protection against Covid-19 in people with obesity. This will be an important challenge for health services in terms of generating healthy food content for the population.
