Abstract

The increase in the prevalence of obesity in recent decades is an urgent medical and social problem for all countries, increasing the cost of medical care and worsening the quality of life of patients. Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of a number of chronic non-infectious diseases, including respiratory diseases. The presence of excess body weight not only provokes the development of bronchopulmonary pathology, but also aggravates its course. The article discusses the mechanisms of the impact of obesity on the pathogenesis of diseases such as bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronavirus infection.
