Emerging reports suggest that obese patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19 may have worse outcomes; whether this association extends to those who are not hospitalized is unclear. This study examines the association between obesity and death 21 days after diagnosis of COVID-19 among patients who receive care in an integrated health care system, accounting for obesity-related comorbidities and sociodemographic factors.
