     summary: A critical part of addressing this global epidemic is to improve the evidence base for more effective treatments for obesity; however, a challenge revealed in the randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of obesity interventions is the remarkable heterogeneity of interindividual and intraindividual responses among adult patients -whether the intervention pertains to lifestyle (dietary, physical activity [PA]), or is a pharmacological or surgical intervention aiming at weight loss. Funded by a European grant, a group of European obesity researchers convened in 2018 to create a plan for helping shape future RCTs in the field of obesity by identifying the minimal set of variables that should be included in trials of different kinds of obesity interventions, whatever the type and the endpoints of the intervention.

     summary: The researchers concluded that CAAT holds promise as a treatment modality since overweight and obese children are often less effective in regulating food intake compared to normal weight children. Several studies of weight management interventions have shown that children can successfully increase their step count from baseline as part of an intervention.

Obesity has been observed to be associated with severe COVID-19 disease, independent of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease -concomitant disorders also known to contribute to severe disease [18] .Several potential underlying mechanisms have been proposed.

     summary: In addition to the known defective immune system in the obesity, the virulence of Covid-19 and the differences in the incidence of obesity across the world, it is not clear what is the magnitude /severity of liver disease could add to production of critical illness like severe pneumonia. Several other studies have reported obesity as a significant factor for mortality in Covid-19 patients [8-10].This subject is more important in the current Covid-19 crisis knowing the pandemic of obesity.

     summary: 33 SNAP is even more crucial in the economic downturn because increased access to and participation in SNAP reduces the rise in food insecurity for children 34 and risk of obesity in children under 3. 35 Households that experience reduction of SNAP benefits have increased household food insecurity, child food insecurity, housing instability and energy insecurity. Childhood obesity and food insecurity can co-occur, and in some children food insecurity is associated with an increased risk of obesity.

     summary: In our cohort of patients, the prevalence of obesity (28%) in COVID-19 patients is higher compared to that (11%) reported by Italian Health Institute (Epicentro) [18] . Patients were grouped by BMI ( ≥30 kg/m^2 or < 30 Kg/m2) as patients with obesity (OB, 29) and patients without obesity (N-OB, 71).

     summary: As we did not evaluate cause of death, we were unable to assess whether there is a common pathway to mortality in COVID-19 patients with obesity. [6] [7] Early reports from Chinese series identified hypertension, diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease as the comorbidities most consistently associated with hospitalization, respiratory support, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and death in COVID-19 patients.
