Extremely obese individuals, those with a BMI (body mass index) of over
40, have a significantly higher chance of dying from 2009 A(H1N1) swine
flu infection compared to other people, researchers revealed in the
journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The scientists gathered data from a
public health surveillance database in California and found extreme
obesity to be a "powerful risk factor for death".
The authors wrote that half of all patients in California aged at least 20
who were hospitalized with 2009 H1N1 were obese.
