The “obesity paradox” extends to pneumonia with obese patients up to 30 percent less likely to die.

“肥胖悖論”延伸至肺炎，肥胖者患肺炎死亡的可能性會降低30%。

Researchers looked at more than 18,000 patients admitted for infectious disease and their risk of death 90 days after discharge.

研究人員調(diào)查了1.8萬多名因傳染病住院的病人，以及他們出院后90天內(nèi)的死亡風險。
