| Obese Suffer Most from Swine Flu Posted: 11 Jul 2009 04:10 PM PDT The swine flu, like Brett Favre, is a subject that just won’t go away. Despite the fact that we all wish we didn’t have to hear about it, it still makes news. The latest bit is that researchers believe there is a link between the disease and obesity.
While anyone (obese or not) can still get the swine flu, there is some question as to how well a patient can recover from the disease if they are obese. Apparently “health officials in the U.S. and Europe said, after a report showed a "striking" prevalence of obesity among patients hospitalized in Michigan.” The report indicated that when the obese were hit with swine flu, they became “severely ill” even if they didn’t have any other health problems.
