In recent decades, many investigators have convincingly shown that people with obesity, prediabetes, diabetes and MetS are at increased risk for impaired lung function, and especially impaired restrictive lung pattern [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] , which is primarily determined by reduced predicted forced vital capacity. In patients with any of the specific metabolic abnormalities of MetS, pre-existing impaired lung function can predispose them to SARS-CoV-2 infection and even accelerate it, potentially worsening the condition.	./cache/cord-343691-sjz5og78.txt	./txt/cord-343691-sjz5og78.txt
