Why? Well, according to a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the probability to spread COVID-19 to others is higher in the case of older individuals with a higher body mass index (BMI). Researchers claim people in this category release more respiratory droplets, the main driver of SARS-Cov-2 transmission.
As explained by David A. Edwards, Ph.D., founder and chief scientific officer of Sensory Cloud, Boston, Massachusetts, and formerly professor of bioengineering at Harvard University, Boston, he and his colleagues measured bioaerosols released by 194 healthy people as well as in eight primates. All of them had been “experimentally infected” with the virus.
