Association between cardiometabolic disease and severe COVID-19: a nationwide case–control study of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation

Swedish study (n=1.086 cases;10.860 controls) found type 2 diabetes (OR 2.3;95% CI 1.9-2.7), hypertension (1.7; 1.5-2.0), obesity (3.1;2.4-4.0) and CKD (2.5;1.7-3.7) were all linked to severe COVID-19. In younger subgroup (<57 years), ORs were higher for all cardiometabolic risks
