摘要：The medical scientific community has clearly presented and argued a number of studies linking the correlation between overweight and COVID-19 infection, studies that indicate a strong association with adverse outcomes and adverse developments, including the death of obese people infected with COVID-19. Obesity results in excess adipose tissue or what we colloquially call "fat". It can be said that adipose tissue acts as an endocrine organ, but it is harmful. It releases more hormones and molecules that lead to a chronic state of inflammation in obese patients. This paper brings to the attention of education specialists with various specializations, but involved in teaching with minor students, information about the processes that are at the origin of obesity and the influence of this condition in the evolution of COVID-19 infection. The hypotheses presented were tested and largely verified by comparative analysis of various scientific studies. The study was conducted on a sample of 26 students of the final years, and after analyzing the applied questionnaires we found that 63% consider that they want to know more about the ways of intervention in case of optimizing health in the case of obese people. There is also a percentage of 21% which includes those who consider that they are not prepared and do not have the necessary information to be able to carry out activities in an organized way with obese people. Those who are convinced that they have the theoretical means necessary to work with the obese are 16% present. Methods. The present study was conducted on a sample of 26 student subjects aged between 20 and 31 years and master's students in the final years of study, who were previously informed on the subject around which the questions of the questionnaire were formulated and which proved interest in finding out the causes of the obesity epidemic. The group was divided into two homogeneous samples, then the results were integrated. Conclusion. At the end of the period in which the questionnaires were applied, discussions were held and the results of all those involved were presented, which has an obvious contribution in the development of the next stages of the experiment.
