“…Older people living in the community are vulnerable to nutritional risks because factors that influence food intake 33,34 lead to worsening health outcomes and increased mortality 35,36,37 . The high prevalence of nutritional risk in older adults is dominated by individual characteristics, environment, and lifestyle, such as female gender, living alone, old age, low self-assessed health, cognitive impairment, functional impairment, depression, dementia, loss of appetite, eating difficulties, oral disease, Dysphagia, frequent morbidity, and low social activity 38,39,40 .…”

Nutritional problems are problems that may occur in the elderly which are closely related to food intake and body metabolism and the factors that influence them. Malnutrition represents a potential threat to the health of the elderly. This systematic review wants to learn more about the factors that affect the nutritional status of the elderly and the health of the elderly during the covid pandemic. This study is a systematic review using online databases, namely Scholar, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and EBSCO. The keywords used are Nutritional Status, Health Elderly, and Covid-19 Pandemic. The selection process used the PRISMA protocol so that 15 articles were obtained that met the inclusion criteria. From the results of a review of several articles, it is known There are associations between emotional support, self-esteem support, appetite, carbohydrate intake, and health and nutritional status in older adults. There is a relationship between factors affecting nutritional needs and nutritional status in older adults, including physical activity, depression and mental status, medication, disease, and biological decline. The indirect causes of nutritional problems in the elderly are environmental factors, income and the availability of information, while the quality of living environment includes information related to living environment, income and nutritional status of the elderly and the quality of living environment. Factors that influence the nutritional status of older adults are food intake and disease, but are also influenced by physical activity and exercise habits.

“…The gender of preschool age children is more female 41 children (61.2%). According to (Fahim et al, 2021) Bangladesh as a country of 75 million people struggles to be freed from the grip of subjugation, food insecurity and extremely high rates of malnutrition among children and women. Malnutrition rates in children and women as well as micronutrient deficiencies are still high.…”

Monitoring the nutritional status of children at the West Nias Health Office is carried out twice a year in February and August. Monitoring was carried out to determine the nutritional status of children in every region in West Nias Regency and to find out some descriptions of the prevalence of children's nutritional status with several indicators. Indicators that can be used to determine the nutritional status of children in the area can be seen from indicators of children's weight according to age (W/A), indicators according to height for age (TB/U), and indicators of weight according to height (BB/TB). According to the local Health Office, the highest prevalence of malnutrition is in West Nias Regency, reaching 9.89%. From the data above, it has been shown that before the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in the world and in Indonesia itself, nutritional problems that occurred in children were still high, especially coupled with the occurrence of cases of the spread of COVID-19 that had occurred in various countries around the world. The impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be malnutrition due to various reasons, including: (1) poor diet due to declining finances, (2) non-standard nutrition, low level of hygiene, low access to health, and high spread of disease. This research is a research method approach Crossectional. The research sample is 67 people.

“…Large doses or chronic use of these chemical substances are evidently linked to many diseases and disorders, such as obesity, asthma, cancer, and neurological and cardiac diseases and disorders [6]. At present, food security is one of the major concerns in Bangladesh (a developing South Asian country) [7]. Many illiterate and inexperienced people who process foods for small-and large-scale supplies usually use numerous chemicals during food processing and preservation.…”

Frequent use of various food processing chemical agents sometimes causes damage to our bodies by inducing cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and mutagenesis. In Bangladesh, among various chemical agents, formalin, saccharin, and urea are vastly used for processing foodstuffs by industry and local people. This study is focused to assess the toxic effects of formalin, saccharin, and urea on the popularly used eukaryotic test model, Allium cepa L. The assay was carried out by exposing different concentrations of test samples to A. cepa at 24, 48, and 72 h, where distilled water and CuSO4·5H2O (0.6 µg/mL) were utilized as the vehicle and positive control, respectively. The root length of the onions was measured in mm, and the results propose that all the chemical agents demonstrated toxicity in onions in a concentration- and exposure-time-dependent manner. The highest root length was examined at the lower concentrations, and with the increase in the concentration of the test sample and exposure time, the RG (root growth) was inhibited due to the deposition of chemicals and hampering of cell division in the root meristematic region of A. cepa. All the chemical agents also revealed a concentration- and time-dependent adaptive effect up to 72 h inspection of 24 h and a depletion of % root growth at 72 h inspection of 48 h. Our study suggests that sufficient precautions should be confirmed during its industrial and traditional usage as a toxicological response to the chemical agents observed in the A. cepa assay.
