The study published in The Lancet Diabetes And Endocrinology found that the effect of excess weight on the risk of severe disease was greatest in people aged 20 to 39, and decreased after age 60.
Increasing BMI had very little impact on the risk of severe coronavirus in people aged over 80 years.
However, the researchers report that the overall incidence of severe Covid-19 among people aged 20 to 39 was lower than all other age groups.
Dr Carmen Piernas, lead author of the study, from the University of Oxford’s Nuffield department of primary care health sciences, said: “Our study shows that even very modest excess weight is associated with greater risks of severe Covid-19 complications and the risks rise sharply as BMI increases.
Researchers have found a potential link between bodyweight and risk of severe coronavirus, especially for younger adults.
The study was based on more than 6.9 million people living in England and including data from more than 20,000 Covid-19 patients who were admitted to hospital or died during the first wave.
It found that the risk of worse outcomes from the virus starts rising in people with a body mass index (BMI) above 23kg/m squared, which is considered to be in the healthy range.
The healthy range of BMI is 18.5-24.9kg/m squared.
People with a BMI greater than 25kg/m squared are classified as overweight and those with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m squared are classed as obese.
