This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Obesity may downregulate vaccine-induced immunogenicity, but the epidemiological evidence for the COVID-19 vaccine is limited, and the sex-associated difference is unknown. It was observed that a higher body mass index was associated with lower titers of spike IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in men but not in women.
