Introduction: The high Body Mass Index and high body fat percentage are mentioned as factors influencing the severity of the course of COVID-19 disease. Our aim was to examine, in relation to their symptoms, the measured and estimated parameters of those included in the lifestyle program established by the armed forces suffering from mild to moderate COVID-19 disease. Sample and Methods: The average age of the examined sample (n=18) was 45.2 years. The average body weight for women was (n=8) 78.5 kg, for men 106.2 kg, the average body fat percentage for women was 40.6% and for men 30.6%. The instruments used for the examination were a BIA 500 (800/µA, 50 kHz), an Omron BF 511 body composition monitor, an ECG Cardioscan monitor, and a DYNA-19 hand grip dynamometer. We applied a two-sample T-test in the examination. Differences with p < 0.05 were considered statistically. Statistical calculations were performed in R environment with R-Studio program. Results: The higher phase angle was characteristic at lower (p=0.04) and shorter (p=0.05) body temperatures. Higher body fat percentages were observed in the case of prolonged coughing (p=0.04). Lower cardiac function values were associated with higher fever (p=0.05) and difficulty in breathing (p=0.02), while higher cardiac stress percentage was associated with the appearance of chest pain (p=0.02) and higher fever (p=0.04). Conclusion: It was not the location of adipose tissue but the magnitude of its amount that was related to the symptoms of mild to moderate COVID-19 in our sample, in contrast to several international observations.
