“…Furthermore, there is strong evidence indicating that the nutritional status of patients plays a significant role in infection-related morbidity and mortality, including COVID-19 disease and other infections. The underlying immune dysfunction caused by PEW, as well as essential micronutrient deficiencies such as zinc, selenium, and vitamins may impair immunity defense against the virus [ 49 , 50 , 51 ]. Dietary interventions appear to mitigate PEW and improve short- and long-term outcomes in dialysis patients [ 24 , 30 ].…”

Hemodialysis patients are highly susceptible to poor nutritional status. Our objective was to investigate whether poor nutritional status during mRNA-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is correlated with impaired vaccine responses. This retrospective study was conducted in two hospital-based dialysis units. The nutritional status of hemodialysis patients was assessed, using a malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) at the time of their first BNT162b2 vaccine dose. One month after the second vaccine dose, we performed a quantitative assessment of antibodies against the spike protein (anti-S1 IgG). A total of 115 hemodialysis patients, with an average age of 72 were enrolled in the study. Among them, 39 (33.9%) were female, and 67 (58.2%) had diabetes mellitus. In 43/115 (37.4%) patients, moderate to severe malnutrition (MIS > 5) was detected. Comparatively, malnourished patients showed a lower log-transformed mean level of anti-S1 IgG compared to those with normal nutrition (2.91 ± 0.83 vs. 3.25 ± 0.72, respectively, p = 0.024). In a multivariable analysis that adjusted for age, sex, and KT/V, the nutritional status assessed by an MIS remained inversely associated with an anti-S1 IgG response [B; −0.066 (−0.117 to −0.015)]. In conclusion, moderate to severe malnutrition in hemodialysis patients is associated with reduced humoral responses to BNT162b2 vaccination.

“…This study found no significant difference in mortality and duration of mechanical ventilation, but reported improvements in oxygenation (the ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen [PaO2/FIO2]) ( 77 ). However, there is no evidence at this time point to support intravenous high-dose vitamin C in the management of COVID-19 ( 78 ). Vitamin C 1000 mg once daily had no effect on disease progression in mild – to – moderate patient with COVID-19 ( 79 ).…”

BackgroundDietary micronutrients may play important roles in the improvement of the immune responses against SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to assess the effect of micronutrients on platelet activating factor (PAF) and immunity with a special focus on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsAll paper published in English on the effects of micronutrients including fat soluble vitamins, water soluble vitamins, and minerals on PAF, immunity, and COVID-19 were collected from online valid databases.ResultsVitamin A may modulate the expression of PAF-receptor gene in patients with COVID-19. Vitamin D may modulate inflammatory response through influencing PAF pathway. Vitamin E may improve COVID-19 related heart injuries by exert anti-PAF activities. Vitamin C status may have PAF related anti-inflammatory and micro-thrombotic effects in SARS-CoV-2 patients. Furthermore, some trace elements such as copper, selenium, and iron may have key roles in strengthens immunity by inactivate PAF acetyl hydrolase.ConclusionThis narrative review study highlighted the importance of micronutrients in the improvement of immune function through modulation of PAF in patients with COVID-19. Further longitudinal studies are warranted.

“…Nutritional imbalance decreases the functioning of the immune system and increases the risks of COVID-19 itself, progression to severe COVID-19, and chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension [ 4 , 5 ]. Because chronic diseases are also risk factors for COVID-19 infection and severe symptoms thereof [ 6 ], international organizations such as the World Health Organization and governments around the world are recommending healthy eating habits, such as drinking plenty of water and increases in intakes of fruits and vegetables, and protein of healthy sources to prevent COVID-19 transmission, given the importance of nutrition in preventing and managing chronic and infectious diseases [ 7 ].…”

Objectives: This study was to examine the changes in dietary habits and food and nutrient intakes between before (2019) and during (2020) the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).Methods: A total of 54,995 participants aged ≥19 years who participated in the 2011-2020 KNHANES were included. The 10-year trend (2011-2020) and differences between 2019 and 2020 for dietary habits and food and nutrient intakes were estimated using SAS.Results: In the past 10 years (2011–2020), the dietary habits (increase in skipping meals and eating out), food intake (increase in meats and decrease in fruits and vegetables), and nutrient intake (increase in fat and decrease in sodium) in adults have changed. When comparing between 2019 and 2020, there were 4.6%p decrease in the eating out more than once a day. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the intakes of food, energy and most of nutrients between 2019 and 2020, except for the proportion of energy intake from fat (1%p increase) and carbohydrate (1%p decrease).Conclusions: Although a change in dietary habits from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic was observed, food and nutrient intakes have not deteriorated markedly and appear similar to the trends in the past 10 years. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to monitor the effects of changes in dietary habits on health as well as food and nutrient intakes.
