Abstract: Obesity is the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. Besides being a contributing factor to various comorbidities, it also leads to serious metabolic and respiratory illnesses. The purpose of this study is to present, through the analysis of scientific articles, the intervention of obesity in severe COVID-19 cases. This is a systematic literature review based on medical books and other works and scientific articles published between 2020 and 2022. The information presented demonstrates that obesity is closely correlated with complications in patients affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct investigations using clinical and epidemiological protocols to establish the connection between obesity and the risk of COVID-19 complications, in order to gain a deeper understanding of this association, including the comprehension of concomitant complications in overweight patients.
