Abstract Introduction Severe forms of COVID-19 are more common in patients with abnormal fat distribution, particularly high visceral adiposity. The patient’s muscle strength may be reduced during the acute phase of the infection. Electrical bioimpedance (BIA) is a non-invasive method for measuring...
