Obesity is discovered to be the risk factor that increases the chances of infection. It is becoming a major problem due to lockdown.
COVID-19 began in December last year in Wuhan, China. By April 20, 2020, it had spread to 210 nations of the world with over 2.3 million affirmed cases. While specialists around the globe are as yet attempting to completely comprehend the study of disease transmission of this infection, at this point we have enough information to draw probably some fundamental ends.
Factors that increase the probability of disease include age (the hazard was higher in those matured 60 years or more) and basic health conditions. The basic conditions associated with obesity incorporate cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, diabetes, infections influencing the insusceptible framework, and other constant conditions.
An investigation on hospitalized patients in the US during March 2020 has featured weight among the most predominant hidden conditions for Covid-19. Overweight not just inclines an individual to the other severe conditions but also increases the risk to catch the infection.
Additionally, specialists imagine that overseeing stout individuals on a ventilator has added difficulties and can prompt more terrible results contrasted with those with ordinary bodyweight.

In many countries, health surveys are conducted, each year or once at regular intervals, to quantify the conveyance of factors like weight, smoking and hypertension. In Pakistan, we don’t have such health surveys led normally. In any case, the current information emphatically recommends that almost 33% of all grown-ups in Pakistan are at this point stout or overweight.
For instance, investigation dependent on the Pakistan Panel Household Survey (PPHS) directed by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics in 2010, indicated that 30 percent of grown-ups in Pakistan were either overweight or fat. More ladies (32 percent) than men (26 percent) had an abundance of body weight.
Statistics of the Pakistan Demographic Health Survey (2017-18) painted a much progressively dismal picture. About one out of two married females had an abundance of body weight.

A healthy lifestyle can help in overcoming such problems as obesity. For this purpose, you much eat a balanced diet and take proper exercise. The WHO suggests at any rate 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise seven days for all adults.
A Gallup Pakistan across the nation overview of 1000 grown-ups directed in 2019 demonstrated that 69 percent of individuals said that they did almost no or no activity in their day by day life. There is practically zero research on the view of Pakistanis about a healthy lifestyle and the difficulties that shield them from accomplishing more exercise or eating healthier. Obviously, without such research, a fruitful general health intercession can’t be planned
To finish up, as we ponder the causes and outcomes of the Covid-19 pandemic, let us likewise consider what we can do to handle the covered up and disregarded the issue of weight. In the more extended run, that is a whole lot greater issue
