Abstract
An electronic search for publications on the features of the course of COVID-19 in patients with the most common chronic noncommunicable diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity) was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Global Health, CyberLeninka databases, RSCI, as well as journals peer-reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission. The review analyzed the effect of comorbidity on the prognosis of a new coronavirus infection (complication rate, severity of the course, mortality). It has been shown that previous noncommunicable diseases are a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19, and if the effect of arterial hypertension is not confirmed by all authors, then type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as any degree of obesity, are important prognostic signs of an unfavorable course of the new coronavirus infections.
Thus, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients suffering from chronic noncommunicable diseases need more careful monitoring and preventive measures aimed not only at preventing infection with the new coronavirus, but also at slowing the progression of these pathologies and their complications.
