Abstract
The long COVID affects individuals that do not recover for several weeks or months following the onset of symptoms of COVID-19. Obesity could play a role in the long COVID syndrome. During the pandemic, various factors contributed greatly to aggravating obesity in women leading to a pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic status. The present commentary explores the relationship between long COVID and obesity in women.
