Abstract

Data from intensive care units suggest that the share of overweight patients in the IC is larger than the share of overweight individuals in general. Lifestyle, and health in general, is socially patterned with obesity and other detrimental lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking) being particularly prevalent among individuals with lower socioeconomic status. In this study we use data that are currently being collected in a (bi-)weekly survey to obtain an understanding of lifestyle and socioeconomic determinants of COVID-19 prevalence and escalation.
