Table 3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models with the dependent variable ‘signs of pneumonia’.

Independent variable Cohort Odds ratio (95% interval) p-value
Overweight/obese vs. lean PCR (n = 165) 2.68 (1.29–5.59) 0.008
BMI as metric variable PCR (n = 165) 1.083 (1.014–1.155) per 1 kg/m2 0.017
Overweight/obese vs. lean PCR + AB (n = 201) 2.32 (1.16–4.64) 0.017
Overweight/obese vs. lean with adjustment for age group, sex, pulmonary and psychiatric disease PCR (n = 165) 2.33 (1.06–5.12) 0.036

PCR: participants with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection by PCR.

AB: participants with a retrospective diagnosis by antibody testing.
