Although metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 and an increased risk of severe symptoms after infection, the impact of diet on these risks is unclear
"Previous reports indicate that malnutrition is a common feature of groups severely affected by the pandemic, but there is a lack of data on the association between diet and the risk and severity of COVID-19," said Dr.
In this study, Merino and his colleagues examined the data of 592,571 participants in a smartphone-based COVID-19 symptom study
During the follow-up period, 31,831 participants contracted COVID-19
"Although we cannot emphasize enough the importance of vaccinations and wearing masks in crowded indoor environments, our research shows that individuals can also potentially reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection or adverse consequences by paying attention to their diet.
Researchers also found that there is a synergistic relationship between poor diet and increased socio-economic poverty and COVID-19 risk, which is higher than the sum of the risks associated with each factor alone
Merino said: "Our model estimates that if one of the two dietary deprivations were not present, nearly one-third of COVID-19 cases could have been avoided
The findings also indicate that public health strategies that improve access to healthy food and address the determinants of healthy society may help reduce the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic
Merino said: "Our findings call on governments and stakeholders to prioritize healthy eating and well-being with influential policies, otherwise we may lose decades of economic progress and significantly increase the health gap
