Authors' recommendations:
One non-randomized study found a positive association between obesity (BMI . 35 kg/m2) and respiratory hospitalizations for seasonal influenza. The evidence on the association between the risk factors (obesity, Aboriginal or Indigenous People, Indian or Alaskan Natives living in North America, residence in remote locations) and pandemic influenza is conflicting, so a firm conclusion cannot be made.
