Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had significant morbidity, mortality, social and financial implications for the global population. Despite this knowledge, we still know very little about how COVID-19 infection affects quality of life resulting from changes in nutritional behaviour and, conversely, how nutrition could modulate the epidemiology of COVID-19. In addition, the social isolation most have experienced due to the regulations imposed by governments during the COVID-19 pandemic may have also had effects on our nutritional behaviour. It is possible that nutritional interventions may have effects on the incidence of COVID-19 infection and mortality rates. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current status of research on the topic of nutrition as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Highlights
As identified in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, dietary habits represent the second most important risk factor for determining mortality and disability-adjusted life-years in the world [1]
The potential impact of COVID-19 on nutritional habits and, inversely, the impact of nutrition on the epidemiology of the COVID-19 pandemic is worthy of study considering the positive and negative associations of nutrition with morbidity and mortality
The purpose of this review is to evaluate nutritional research nutrition as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic
Summary
As identified in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, dietary habits represent the second most important risk factor for determining mortality and disability-adjusted life-years in the world [1]. 2019 (COVID-19) virus from first identification in China across the world has had a major health and financial impact that the world has not seen for at least a century. This is expected to continue well into 2021 and probably 2022 as well. The potential impact of COVID-19 on nutritional habits and, inversely, the impact of nutrition on the epidemiology of the COVID-19 pandemic is worthy of study considering the positive and negative associations of nutrition with morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this review is to evaluate nutritional research nutrition as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic
