◐Partially SupportedInsulin resistance and obesity are major risk factors for coronavirus hospitalization and ICU admission.

◐Partially SupportedComorbidities are a significant factor in the progression of coronavirus.

◐Partially SupportedAlcohol consumption has not risen with chronic disease rates over the past seven decades, suggesting it is not a primary driver.

◐Partially SupportedDespite decreased smoking, drinking, and increased exercise and perceived healthier eating, rates of chronic disease and obesity have surged in the US.

◐Partially SupportedIn the US, 78% of COVID-19 patients requiring ICU admission and 71% requiring hospitalization had at least one underlying health condition.

◐Partially SupportedPoultry consumption is not epidemiologically associated with increased chronic disease or negative outcomes, unlike red meat.

◐Partially SupportedComorbidities play a significant role in the impact of coronavirus, driven by factors such as vegetable oil consumption.

◐Partially SupportedA limited analysis of 355 coronavirus fatalities in Italy found only three patients had no prior medical conditions.
