Resumo
The aim of this article is to assess the odds ratio of hospitalization and mortality due to
COVID-19 in people with obesity using data from residents of Espı ́rito Santo, Brazil. An
observational, quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out from the database avail-
able on the official channel of the State Health Secretariat of Espı ́rito Santo. Crude odds
ratio estimates (ORs) referring to the association between variables were calculated, as well
as adjusted odds ratios (adjusted odds ratios—OR adj.) and their respective 95% confi-
dence intervals (CI 95%). The results indicate that men, non-white, no education or with
lower education level and age over 40 years old were more likely to be hospitalized and died
of COVID-19. People with obesity are at risk of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19
54% and 113% higher than people who do not have obesity. People with obesity had a
higher chance of hospitalization when they were over 40 years old, had breathing difficulty,
and the comorbidities diabetes (2.18 higher) and kidney disease (4.10 higher). The odds
ratio of death for people with obesity over 60 years old was 12.51 higher, and those who
were hospitalized was 17.9 higher compared to those who were not hospitalized.
