This paper is based on mortality rate among older adults and individuals suffering from chronic diseases.It is critical to understand the molecular mechanisms by which COVID-19 affects the kidneys in order to develop appropriate nutritional and pharmacological strategies. Despite the fact that numerous studies have recently recommended various approaches for the management of COVID-19 in CKD, the impact on patients with renal diseases remains the greatest challenge globally.the most recent

This paper is about the effects of covid-19 pandemic on food & nutrition of schoolchildren. While there appear to be fewer cases of COVID-19 among children (and symptoms are generally milder), national responses to the pandemic can have significant implications for child nutrition and educational outcomes. School disruption and closures around the world will have a negative impact not only on children's right to education, but also on other human

Recent scientific evidence suggests that the elderly are at an increased risk of COVID-19 infections, with those in their 70s and 80s being particularly vulnerable – particularly residents of care homes and clinical settings, ethnic minorities, people who work indoors, and those who are overweight or obese. Lack of exposure to sunlight, darker skin pigmentation, co-morbidities, poor diet, certain medications, disadvantaged social and economic status, and lifestyle factors such as

In this paper importance of nutritional well-being has been discussed. There has been a sea change in our understanding of the importance of a well-balanced diet to our health and longevity. There is strong evidence that nutritional manipulation has a role that extends beyond calorie restriction and weight loss. Likewise, there is ample evidence that the Western-style diet has a negative impact on populations. Each consultation allows the clinician to

The study of this research paper is based on the dietary changes during the first lockdown. As, there was less physical activity and people were spending more time at home. In this study four themes were identified: Dietary patterns, Dietary habits (favorable), Dietary habits (unfavorable), others (physical activity levels, weight gain). There was increase in number of snacks consumed, increased in meal number, increase in consumption of sweets, fried foods,

This research paper discussed about the relationship between immunity and nutrition and how it plays important role in COVID-19. For this study Vitamin B1, B6, B12, vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D), folate, selenium, and zinc levels were measured in 50 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and it was reported that overall, 76% of the patients were vitamin D deficient and 42% were selenium deficient and no significant increase in the incidence of

This research article discussed about the global malnutrition crisis that is caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As these crises will damage the nutritional status of the vulnerable groups through multiple mechanisms and poverty. Also, malnutrition will increase due to healthcare failures, as it already strained healthcare systems which are forced to divert resources from a range of nutritionally important functions — including antenatal care, immunization, micronutrient supplementation, and prevention and

The emerging literature shows the effects of COVID‐19 infection on the digestive system can have significant impacts on the nutrition therapy of patients. This opens the opportunities for different interventions and nutrition modalities to address the GI side effects of the disease which posed challenges in terms of nutrition care. The GI symptoms and signs of GI intolerance can significantly restrict achievement of nutrition goals. Alternate ways to increase dietary

The document discussed about the children under 5 years who were already suffering from wasting and how COVID-19 seriously affected them. Considering how they were already at risk because of potential disruptions in the nutritional services that keep them alive and undernutrition makes them more susceptible to infection. And they are more vulnerable because they rely on parents for daily feeding, care and support. If caregivers are sick, quarantined or
