Some cases of swine flu that occurred in the United States rise to the suspicion of close links between Obesity and the risk of exposure to swine flu that can result in death.
Statistics from the swine flu sufferer, found that people who have a severe Obesity tends to be more exposed to the disease.
But health officials argued, people with Obesity is more difficult to confront the disease of swine flu due to asthma and other disturbances associated with excessive body weight.
Obesity has not previously been linked to factors as the seasonal flu.
However, based on research that was released on Friday (10 / 7); the doctor’s health breaks down the 10 patients in the swine flu Michigan, United States. They treated intensively in Ann Arbor since the end of May to early June. Three of them died.
Nine of 10 patients was the extreme of Obesity. Only three of the 10 people who have other health disturbances.
While two of the three patients who died did not suffer interference in addition to health Obesity.
Although this theory has not been clearly correct are correct, factors Obesity can not be ignored as such.
“Medical team should be careful to handle the complex disease that was first suffered by people with swine flu virus, the disease, especially excess body weight in the extreme,” said Dr. Tim Uyeki, flu experts from the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Until now, the case of swine flu in the United States has reached 37,000 people with a death rate 211 people.
