Resumen (es)

La obesidad es una enfermedad que lidera el disfuncionamiento de numerosos órganos. El alto contenido adiposo conlleva a un estado inflamatorio crónico y las reservas suficientes para la hipertrofia de los adipocitos. Si se combina el efecto del covid‑19 con la obesidad su severidad incrementa. Ambos resultados combinados son enormemente peligrosos y disminuyen la esperanza de vida. Incluso, la atención a las personas con obesidad en los hospitales se ve perjudicada, lo que difículta su cuidado y requiere de más personal. Las necesidades de ventilación mecánica de las personas con obesidad son previsiblemente incrementadas y esto puede ser crucial, ya que no todos los hospitales disponen de este material. Por tanto, ejercitarse mediante la combinación del entrenamiento de fuerza y de resistencia gana otra razón en estos días para combatir el virus. Añadir una restricción calórica también es otro factor clave para conseguir efectos significativos.

Palabras clave (es): covid-19, obesidad, ejercicio físico, tratamiento, esperanza de vida

Resumen (en)

Obesity is a disease that leads to dysfunction of many organs. High adipose content leads to a chronic inflammatory condition and sufficient reserves for adipocyte hypertrophy. If the effect of COVID-19 is combined with obesity its severity increases. Both results combined are extremely dangerous and decrease life expectancy. Even the care of people with obesity in hospitals is affected, making their care more difficult and requiring more staff. The mechanical ventilation needs of people with obesity are predictably increased and this can be crucial, as not all hospitals have this equipment. Therefore, exercising by combining strength and endurance training is another reason these days to fight the virus. Adding caloric restriction is also another key factor to achieve significant effects.
