Introduction: Obesity is considered one of the factors of clinical worsening of Sars-Cov-2. Objective: To verify the influence of obesity on possible clinical worsening in patients with Sars-CoV-2. Materials and methods: The methodology of this study was based on a review of the literature, of a descriptive nature, in order to understand the relationship between obesity and Sars-Cov-2, with a survey of scientific articles published in the years 2020 and 2021, with a search in the SciELO, Lilacs, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Results: The results of this research indicate that obesity, because it is a disease that provides an inflammatory cascade in the body, decreases immune responses and causes pulmonary hypoventilation, increases the incidence of clinical worsening combined with Sars-Cov2, which can lead to a critical condition. Discussion: There was a greater worsening in cases of Covid-19 in overweight and obese patients, whether or not they had other associated comorbidities. Conclusion: Obesity is directly related to the clinical worsening of patients with Sars-Cov-2.
