Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) and visceral fat areas can be assessed by cross‐sectional images. These parameters are associated with several clinically relevant factors in various disorders with predictive and prognostic implications. Our aim was to establish the effect of computed tomography (CT)‐defined LSMM and fat areas on unfavourable outcomes and in‐hospital mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients based on a large patient sample.
