THE EFFECT OF ADULT WITH OBESITY ON COVID-19
Abstract
This article highlights how adults who have excess weight are more likely to have COVID-19 During the pandemic, the adults who are considered to be ones tend to be at a higher risk of the disease as well as triple the risk of hospitalization. Obesity increased the impairment of the immune system. It also affects the lung capacity and makes the process of ventilation. The COVID has impacted the people with higher BMIs is not limited to them being a vulnerable population for the disease. It has also made it more difficult for people who worked out in order to lose weight. There are no outward spaces due to lockdowns and this decreases the activity that people engage in to reduce weight. There are also decreased opportunities for physical activity in day to day activities. This reduced activity makes people more vulnerable to increasing their BMI and increase in the weight. This Increase in weight makes them even more vulnerable to the disease. This article takes all this in consideration and is going to outline how this has affected the health of the individuals. It also highlights how the staff involved in helping members to lose weight and how health care workers may have to work with people who are overweight may have to consider various factors when trying to treat the patients. It also sheds light on how the ca
ying out of the vaccination would be one of the deliveries of health care that would be different in the population.

Introduction
COVID-19 also known as Coronavirus disease is an infectious disease that is caused by the virus. People who have contracted the disease have mild to moderate levels of respiratory illness that there is no treatment for. People who have medical issues such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, cancer are more vulnerable to the contraction of disease. People who are older also tend to be more vulnerable to disease as well. The transmission of the virus is through contact. In order to reduce the transition, social distancing, sanitizing, wearing of masks and constant washing of hands is recommended. The virus is transmitted through nose discharge and droplets of saliva. This is why distance was encouraged and the public was discouraged to leave the house and stay in if the circumstances allowed them.
The pandemic has shed light on how various health problems can affect the immune system and how vulnerable people with health issues are to these diseases. The association between COVID-19 is serious and people with this condition should be cautious and ensure that they take the necessary precautions. Obesity is a disease that is not given importance to and its increased prevalence and impact is quite alarming. It is on a rise due to the change in the lifestyle where there are less opportunities for physical activity. In health care, obesity is often refe
ed to the gateway for other diseases and increases mortality when causing the other diseases. In studies conducted in various European Countries, USA, Mexico and China. There has been a consensus that health services for people with higher BMI should be increased. The higher the BMI is the more likely is the person facing the risk of hospitalization, admission to intensive or critical care and increase the need for mechanically assisted ventilation.These risks are higher with people who are older in age, different ethnicities,lower income and other socio-economic factors.
There is some evidence that countries that have populations who consume higher levels of processed food and are less physically active tend to have higher mortality rates from COVID-19. Physical activity can reduce the risk of infectious diseases. Many Countries have diets of rich food which often cause an increase in obesity. This is why certain ethnicities may be more susceptible to obesity and COVID-19. The increase in lockdown has reduced the physical activities that one can engage in and this has caused a steady increase in the people being susceptible to the disease. There is a connection shown with dietary habits and the increase in susceptibility to COVID-19.
Dietary factors have a major impact on the immune system and there is evidence that the lack of certain nutrients such as Vitamin D is associated with susceptibility to respiratory tract infections. The lockdown caused an increase in snacking due to reduced psychological food security and increased consumption of food which drove both the increase in being overweight and the increase in COVID-19 and this is slowly affecting the number of patients that have contracted the disease.
Obesity as A illness and the increase due to COVID-19
Obesity is a complex disease that has so many factors that are involved. It is not possible to limit the cause to one factor. The factors such as neighborhood design, access to health,affordable foods, beverages, access to safe and convenient places for physical activity all have a huge impact. The decrease in physical activity is due to lack of places and due to the lockdown and social distancing where there is limitation in space. This has caused ethnic and racial as well as socioeconomic disparities in obesity.
The social determinants of health are very important in understanding how the impact is caused and how the management occurs for the problem. The system to ensure obesity occurs from two prong approaches to policies and system of management. The goal of the management is to ensure nutrition and an increase in places to engage in physical activity. The promotion of an active and health lifestyle should definitely be stressed during a national lockdown.
The adults may have an increase in their weight which triples their risk of being hospitalised due to the COVID-19 infection. Obesity in general is linked to immune function being impaired. It also affects the lung capacity and hence makes the process of ventilation more difficult. The increase in BMI also increases the risk of death that occurs due to COVID-19 and it decreases the ability of vaccination to be effective. The ethinic and socioeconomic disparity causes more vulnerability and also more stress on the delivery method used. The delivery method should be accessible to all the people who are cu
ently facing these issues. The people with economic and ethical disparities tend to have no access to be able to treat their illness or understand how to reduce the risk of deadly illness.
Health Programs planned by the CDC to reduce obesity
The CDC has created a community program to ensure that the pandemic effect is reduced and decreased the increase in obesity that is being cu
ently caused. The program is focused on how to remove the ba
iers that are contributing to the increase in obesity. Also, to focus on outlining methods to increase health and wellness by providing tools and resources to do so.
The first is promotions of basic protocol of COVID-19. The first protocol was the wearing of masks. This was highlighted and stressed upon to ensure that the people understand how the mask can prevent the disease (Hsu et al., 2020). It should be stressed upon them how this can be the difference between contracting the disease and not. The second protocol is to wash their hands and constantly sanitize their hands. The other protocol is to maintain a healthy distance from the people. This prevents the saliva from accidentally falling on the other person and causing the contraction of the disease.
The second plan is to encourage healthy eating. This was done by encouraging communities to plan and ca
y out local interventions to understand the nutrition level of the community. The nutrition and physical inactivity are two major factors that should be studied in order to understand the interventions each community would need specifically. This would include changing food and beverages choices available in local stores. This would include ensuring that local stores that have healthy options are highlighted and the community receives a newsletter in order to ensure that the community is aware of their choices.
The third protocol is to try and create pandemic friendly outdoor spaces. This includes an increased bicycle route where people can cycle as this is a physical activity that requires limited amount of social contact. They should also have a table for each physical space where parents and kids can take time slots in order to have access to the grounds but reduce the number of people at the place. This allows people to have their share of physical activity. This also allows people to be able to have time in the fresh air. It will take time and be stressful to coordinate but it will be worth the pain.
The fourth protocol is to make parents aware of the nutritional value of their food and how to improve it. This can be done through pamphlets and weekly newsletter across the community. This adds a second level to healthy eating. That protocol encourages healthy eating and informs the public how it can be done. In this level the encouragement is more focused on learning the food and understanding how healthy eating can occur. This may be an increase of certain food groups and the decrease in certain food groups.
The fifth protocol is to ensure screening for obesity in the community. This screening should occur based on the various factors discussed that contribute to the relevance of obesity. The factors will include family history, genetics, ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, age etc. This screening will help to understand how the impact can be reduced individually. This early screening allows the person to take steps on their own to ensure that obesity decreases and that people can take the necessary precautions. The first would outline what food they can consume. The number of calories they need to consume in a day and what dishes can provide the necessary nutrients. The second would be to consider any other illness that is there and give tips to manage that in conjunction to changing their lifestyle to be healthier and more active. The activities that can be done in pandemic can be highlighted. This can include the various activities that can be done at home. The activities would be based on YouTube videos and workout apps to...
