| Abstract | ||
| Background: Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease causes severe acute respiratory problems. It could advance quickly, and some patients experienced serious pulmonary problems that could last for months and have an impact on quality of life, the need for ICU hospitalization, or even death. Aim of the study: to determine long COVID sequelae on cardiopulmonary parameters among different body mass indices. Methods: Ninety participants from both sexes with history of COVID-19 aged 23.4±4 were assigned according to their BMI into three groups as Group A included thirty participants with BMI 18.5 to 24.9 with history of COVID-19 infection 8-12 months ago. Group B included thirty participants with BMI 25 to 29.9 with history of COVID-19 infection 8-12 months ago. Group C included thirty participants with BMI 30 to 34.9 with history of COVID-19 infection 8-12 month ago. The 12-Minute walk test was applied for three groups. Heart rate, Heart rate recovery, O 2 Saturation and VO 2 max were measured before and after 12MWD. Conclusion: The study results demonstrated that COVID-19 has the same effect on cardiopulmonary parameters among different body mass indices. | ||
