04 Jun 2020 --- A Public Health England (PHE) data review has established a significant relationship between weight-related comorbidities and COVID-19 mortality in the UK. The results highlight that among deaths with COVID-19 mentioned on death certificates, a higher percentage specifies diabetes, hypertensive diseases and chronic kidney disease than all-cause death certificates. UK-based Obesity Health Alliance (OHA)’s recent poll further highlights how consumers are increasingly calling for a nation-wide government battle plan to combat the UK’s “war on obesity.”
