Current Nutrition Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has highlighted the potential role of nutrition in modifying disease susceptibility and severity. This review aims to systematically evaluate current evidence on associations between dietary patterns, assessed using diet quality scores (DQS), severity outcomes. A comprehensive literature search identified 15 studies across diverse populations. Prospective cohort generally found higher associated with lower infection rates. Case-control consistently showed reduced odds severe illness adherence anti-inflammatory particularly Mediterranean diet. Cross-sectional data revealed DQS symptom burden improved prognostic biomarkers. An ecological study demonstrated inverse relationships national-level caseloads. Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH), plant-based were notably predictive favourable outcomes, even after adjusting for confounders. Conversely, consumption processed foods high saturated fats, sugars, additives was linked increased complications. Despite these findings, research gaps remain, including impacts specific components, effect modifiers populations, establishing causality through interventional trials. highlights observational supporting integration optimal into pandemic preparedness strategies.

Populations in Low-Magnesium Areas Were Associated with Higher Risk of Infection in COVID-19’s Early Transmission: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study in the United States

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(4), С. 909 - 909

Many studies have confirmed the important roles of nutritional status and micronutrients in COVID-19 pandemic. Magnesium is a vital essential trace element that involved oxidative stress, inflammation, many other immunological functions has been shown to be associated with outcome infection. Here, we conducted nationwide retrospective cohort study United States involving 1150 counties, 287,326,503 individuals, 5,401,483 cases as 30 September 2020 reveal infection risk populations distributed low-magnesium areas early transmission COVID-19. Our results indicate average county-level cumulative incidence was significantly higher than control areas. Additionally, significant negative nonlinear association found between environmental magnesium concentration incidence. Furthermore, low faced (RR: 1.066; CI: 1.063-1.068), among which females 1.07; 1.067-1.073), 0-17 years subgroup 1.125; 1.117-1.134), 65+ 1.093; 1.087-1.098), black people 1.975; 1.963-1.986), outside metro areas, counties smaller population experienced by subgroups.

Influence of infection control for COVID-19 on nutrition in relatively healthy Japanese HD patients: a retrospective observational study

Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Abstract Background Infection control for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been linked to decreased physical activity and nutritional deterioration in general population; however, influence on hemodialysis (HD) patients is not well discussed. Methods This multicenter retrospective study utilized Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Survival Index, Japanese HD (NRI-JH) assess status body composition over five observation periods. The primary endpoint was fluid removal rate (%) pre- post-HD, whereas secondary endpoints included changes GNRI, SI, composition, differences NRI-JH. Results We enrolled 139 three facilities. results showed a decrease GNRI score, which indicates deterioration, between February 2020 August (96.8 (93.2–98.9) vs. 93.8 (90.8–97.6)) ( P = 0.0005). Multivariable analysis revealed that associated with higher C-reactive protein lower hemoglobin levels 0.0004 0.0010, respectively), were more noticeable urban facility. Furthermore, soft lean somatic cell mass an increase fat mass, suggesting reduced activity. Conclusions observed shortly after first COVID-19 outbreak, association

Nutrition in Abrupt Sunlight Reduction Scenarios: Envisioning Feasible Balanced Diets on Resilient Foods

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(3), С. 492 - 492

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2022

Abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios (ASRS) following catastrophic events, such as a nuclear war, large volcanic eruption or an asteroid strike, could prompt global agricultural collapse. There are low-cost foods that be made available in ASRS: resilient foods. Nutritionally adequate combinations of these investigated for different stages scenario with effective response, based on existing technology. While macro- and micronutrient requirements were overall met, some-potentially chronic-deficiencies identified (e.g., vitamins D, E K). Resilient sources micronutrients mitigating other potential deficiencies presented. The results this analysis suggest no life-threatening excesses would necessarily present given preparation to deploy response. Careful preparedness planning-such stock management food production ramp-up-is indispensable response not only allows fulfilling people's energy requirements, but also prevents severe malnutrition.

Pre-Infection Nutritional Status, Oxidative Stress, and One-Year-Long COVID Persistence in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Clinics and Practice, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(3), С. 892 - 905

Опубликована: Май 17, 2024

Background: Nutritional status’s role in long COVID is evident the general population, yet unexplored patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), posing a research gap. We hypothesized that pre-infection undernutrition HD might impact persistence by accelerating oxidative stress. The present study aimed to investigate association between nutritional status, stress, and one-year-long patients. Methods: This prospective observational cohort enrolled 115 with confirmed COVID-19. status was assessed using Controlling Status (CONUT) score twice: before infection three months post-infection. Oxidative markers included malondialdehyde (MDAs), ceruloplasmin, transferrin, sulfhydryl groups. endpoint persistence. Results: Moderate CONUT scores were associated heightened severe risk (p < 0.0001), elevated MDAs reduced ceruloplasmin levels = 0.0009) at post-COVID-19 compared light scores. Pre-infection independently predicted post-COVID damage [OR 2.3 (95% CI 1.2; 4.6), p 0.0001] [HR 4.6 1.4; 9.9), 0.0001], even after adjusting for potential confounders.
