“…O artigo de Ong et al . [31] apresenta que nas Filipinas o Departamento de Bem-Estar Social e Desenvolvimento identificou, desde então, cerca de 21 milhões de famílias de baixa renda que precisam urgentemente de ajuda monetária e alimentar do governo durante esta pandemia. Além disso, regras rígidas de isolamento social foram implementadas e famílias que vivem na pobreza tiveram que contar em grande parte com ajuda de alimentos processados e ultraprocessados, distribuídos por governos locais e doadores privados.…”

“…Dado que esses sistemas já são muito instáveis em cenário regular, em configurações pandêmicas os tornaram muito vulneráveis, principalmente quando em comparação com países de renda mais alta. Em países como a Índia, os navios tiveram que ficar em portos em quarentena, impedidos de transportar alimentos básicos como arroz, afetando sua economia e o comércio mundial de alimentos [31] .…”

Objetivou-se nessa revisão bibliográfica conhecer a abordagem científica de como o contexto pandêmico do novo coronavírus COVID-19 influenciou a segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN) no Brasil e no restante do mundo. Realizou-se busca na base eletrônica Biblioteca Virtual e Saúde de trabalhos científicos a partir dos descritores segurança alimentar, pandemia e covid-19. Foi realizada a seleção dos estudos pelos títulos e resumos, posteriormente por leitura integral. Dos 121 estudos revisados, 22 contemplaram os critérios de inclusão. Foi verificada a discussão da ação dos governos e suas políticas públicas de emergência no Brasil e em alguns países como forma de amenizar o problema da fome nas populações em vulnerabilidade. Diversos estudos apontam para as dificuldades apresentadas em países desenvolvidos e para os países em desenvolvimento, que sofrem com impactos ainda maiores. Além disso, foram verificadas pesquisas de percepção de (in)SAN e seus pilares mais afetados, mostrando que a disponibilidade, o acesso de alimentos, a utilização de nutrientes e de forma estável foram fragilizados, percebidos por milhões de pessoas.

“…Inadequate diets are known to be associated with poverty (157)(158)(159)(160)(161)(162). This is especially pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic (163). Moreover, such diets are often deficient in protein containing the amino acid tryptophan, which can lead to low MT as tryptophan is the essential starting molecule for MT synthesis (41,42,44,164,165).…”

That the pineal gland is a source of melatonin is widely known; however, by comparison, few know of the much larger pool of extrapineal melatonin. That pool is widely distributed in all animals, including those that do not have a pineal gland, e.g., insects. Extrapineal melatonin is not released into the blood but is used locally to function as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent, etc. A major site of action of peripherally-produced melatonin is the mitochondria where it neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated during oxidative phosphorylation. Its role also includes major actions as an immune modulator reducing overreactions to foreign agents while simultaneously boosting immune processes. During a pandemic such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, melatonin is capable of suppressing the damage inflicted by the cytokine storm. The implications of melatonin in susceptibility and treatment of COVID-19 disease are discussed.

“…Studies have shown that these measures can lead to dietary changes during the lock-up period, leading to malnutrition or obesity. 3,4 It can also have negative effects on mental health, such as sleep problems, depression, anxiety, and fear of death. 5 In this unprecedented situation, the relationship between men and women, individual sexual behavior, and family function had also undergone unique changes among adults aged 18-44 years.…”

Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been declared a global pandemic. In this unprecedented situation, the intimate relationship, sexual behavior, and family functions of partners have also undergone unique changes. There are few reports on whether sexual behavior and family function affect intimate relationships between partners, especially among people aged 18 to 44 years. Aim: To analyze the influence of sociodemographic characteristics, family function, and changes in sexual behavior on male-female intimacy, the independent contributions of the aforementioned factors in this population group are required to be further investigated. Methods: In the present study, 284 Chinese citizens aged 18-44 years completed the online questionnaire. The univariate analysis and cluster multiple linear regression were used to analyze the associations between sociodemographic factors, sexual-behavior changes, family function, and male-female intimacy. Main Outcome Measure: Family adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve (APGAR) Scale and Relationship Assessment Scale were used to evaluate participants' family function and their intimacy. Details of the participants (sociodemographic and sexual factors) were obtained. Results: The summary scores, with Relationship Assessment Scale and APGAR scales, were 27.19 ± 4.49 and 6.76 ± 2.28, respectively. About 43.3% of participants reported a decrease in sexual frequency. There were considerable differences among age, education level, sexual desire, sexual satisfaction, quality of sexual life, family function with male-female intimacy (P < .05). The sexual satisfaction and intimacy demonstrated a significant positive correlation (P < .05) by cluster multiple linear regression analysis. Compared with those who had a sexual life of mediocre quality, respondents who experienced a good quality sexual life had relatively higher scores in intimacy. The independent contributions of sociodemographic factors, sexual behavior factors, and family function in male-female intimacy were 13.0%, 38.2%, and 48.8%, respectively. Conclusions: Sexual behavior factors and family function were important independent determinants of partner intimacy among people aged 18-44 years. It can provide supportive information for health care to develop intervention plans and services to promote the harmonious development of intimate relationship.
