Some studies have shown a link between obesity and a higher risk of pneumonia. A 2010 study in the European Respiratory Journal followed 22,578 men and 25,973 women ages 50 to 64 who were part of the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health study. After separating the participants by body mass index, researchers discovered that moderately obese men had a 40% higher risk of pneumonia compared with normal-weight men. Severely obese men were two times as likely to develop pneumonia compared with their normal-weight counterparts. Those same higher risks were not seen among women.

Among women, having a higher body mass index was associated with a greater risk of pneumonia, although that risk went down with exercise. A 2010 study of 68 hospitalized pneumonia patients in China also found a connection with obesity. The study, published in the journal BMC Infectious Diseases, reported that conditions linked with death were obesity and lymphopenia, an extremely low level of lymphocytes (a certain type of whiteblood cell).

One of the populer Heavy D lyrics that i like from one of heavy d songs is "Ask Heaven":

I'd like to dedicate this song
To everyone who's cried before
Who's felt pain and suffering before
This just ain't about me
But most importantly I'd like to send this song out to my family
I love my family
'Specially my mother and my father
I wanna thank you for being so strong
God bless you, I love you
