In the general population, the lowest mortality risk is considered to be for the
body mass index (BMI) range of 20–24.9 kg/m2. In chronic diseases (chronic
kidney disease, chronic heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
the best survival is observed in overweight or obese patients. Recently
above-mentioned phenomenon, called obesity paradox, has been described in

AbstractThe impact of COVID-19 on population health is recognised as being
substantial, yet few studies have attempted to quantify to what extent infection
causes mild or moderate symptoms only, requires hospital and/or ICU admission,
results in prolonged and chronic illness, or leads to premature death. We aimed
to quantify the total disease burden of acute COVID-19 in the Netherlands in
2020 usi... hiện toàn bộ

Arguments about face masks and Covid-19 reflect broader methodologic debates within medical scienceEuropean Journal of Epidemiology - Tập 36 Số 2 - Trang 143-147 - 2021
Neil Pearce, Jan P. Vandenbroucke

masks. The most contentious scientific debate has been between those who argue
that “there is no scientific evidence”, by which they mean that there are no
randomized controlled trials (RCTs), versus those who argue that when the
evidence is considered together, “the science supports that face coverings save
lives”. It used... hiện toàn bộ
