“…A recent study in Ireland and the UK revealed that younger (18–24 years) individuals are more vaccine-hesitant [ 27 ]. In the USA, an estimated 86% of people over 61 years of age are more likely to receive the vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 [ 28 ]. Another study in Jordan and Kuwait found that the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine acceptance rate is higher among males and people with higher educational attainment [ 29 ].…”

This article reports the intent to receive a SARS-COV-2 vaccine, its predictors and willingness to pay in Bangladesh. We carried out an online cross-sectional survey of 697 adults from the general population of Bangladesh in January 2021. A structured questionnaire was used to assess vaccination intent. The questionnaire included sociodemographic variables and health belief model constructs which may predict vaccination intent. Among the participants, 26% demonstrated a definite intent, 43% probable intent, 24% probable negative, and 7% a definite negative intention. Multivariable logistic regression analyses suggest an association between definite intent and previous COVID-19 infection (OR: 2.86; 95% CI: 1.71–4.78), perceiving COVID-19 as serious (OR: 1.93; 1.04–3.59), the belief that vaccination would make them feel less worried about catching COVID-19 (OR: 4.42; 2.25–8.68), and concerns about vaccine affordability (OR: 1.51; 1.01–2.25). Individuals afraid of the side effects (OR: 0.34; 0.21–0.53) and those who would take the vaccine if the vaccine were taken by many others (OR: 0.44; 0.29–0.67) are less likely to have a definite intent. A definite negative intent is associated with the concern that the vaccine may not be halal (OR: 2.03; 1.04–3.96). Furthermore, 68.4% are willing to pay for the vaccine. The median amount that they are willing to pay is USD 7.08. The study findings reveal that the definite intent to receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among the general population varies depending on their COVID-19-related health beliefs and no significant association was found with sociodemographic variables.

“…To evaluate the effect of ILD on susceptibility to COVID-19, the odds ratio (OR) for the presence of ILD in the COVID-19 cohort relative to that in the age-, sex-, and the residence-matched cohort was evaluated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. In multivariable analysis, covariates which not only may affect the relationship between ILD and the susceptibility of COVID-19, but also are significant in univariable analysis (p<0.05) were adjusted: the type of insurance, reflecting socioeconomic status [ 22 ] and comorbidities (lung cancer, CTD, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease [angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and heart failure], and cerebrovascular disease. Additionally, to evaluate the effect of ILD on the occurrence of severe COVID-19, we evaluated the OR for severe COVID-19 in patients with ILD relative to those without ILD using the COVID-19 cohort.…”

BackgroundThere are limited data regarding the relationship between interstitial lung disease (ILD) and the natural course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we investigate whether patients with ILD are more susceptible to COVID-19 than those without ILD and evaluate the impact of ILD on disease severity in patients with COVID-19.MethodsA nationwide cohort of patients with COVID-19 (n=8070) and a 1:15 age-, sex-, and residence-matched cohort (n=121 050) were constructed between January 1, 2020 and May 30, 2020 in Korea. We performed a nested case-control study to compare the proportions of patients with ILD between the COVID-19 cohort and the matched cohort. Using the COVID-19 cohort, we also evaluated the risk of severe COVID-19 in patients with ILD versus those without ILD.ResultsThe proportion of patients with ILD was significantly higher in the COVID-19 cohort than in the matched cohort (0.8% versus 0.4%, p<0.001). The odds ratio [OR] of having ILD was significantly higher in the COVID-19 cohort than in the matched cohort (adjusted OR=2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.54–2.61). Among patients in the COVID-19 cohort, patients with ILD were more likely to have severe COVID-19 than patients without ILD (49.3% versus 13.1%), including mortality (13.4% versus 2.8%) (all p<0.01). The risk of severe COVID-19 was significantly higher in patients with ILD than in those without ILD (adjusted OR=2.32, 95% CI=1.24–4.01).ConclusionThe risks of COVID-19 and severe presentation were significantly higher in patients with ILD than in those without ILD.

“…20 Daily intake estimates were based on the average of 2−3 dietary recalls conducted annually during the same seasonally matched 37-day window (Appendix, available online, shows the data collection details). 18 Intake levels for 31 dietary components, shown in Appendix Table 1 (available online), were obtained from the Nutrition Data System for Research and were used to calculate the DII. 11 This metric is designed to reflect the relative level of internal inflammation caused by dietary exposures.…”

“…Participants were enrolled in a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate dietary patterns among residents living in 2 low-income urban neighborhoods that have limited access to stores selling fresh and healthy foods. 18 Data were collected at 3 timepoints: baseline (2015−2016), 12 months (2016−2017), and 24 months (2017−2018). The study neighborhoods represent 11 census tracts in Cleveland (7) and Columbus (4), Ohio, with a combined population of >18,000, of which more than two thirds are African American, and about 40% receive SNAP benefits.…”

“…19 Eligibility criteria at enrollment included living in targeted neighborhoods (primarily low-income census tracts with low supermarket access), planning to live in the current neighborhood for ≥12 months, being aged ≥18 years, being an English speaker, and being responsible for ≥50% of household food shopping. These criteria were chosen because this study was an ancillary part of broader effort 18 and because there was a goal of enrolling individuals who represented typical shoppers for each household. Of the 1,395 initially screened residents, 655 (47%) were eligible, and 516 (79%) of these residents were enrolled in the study (Appendix Figure 1, available online).…”

Introduction:The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was designed to prevent food insecurity among low-income Americans and has been linked to improvements in pregnancy health, long-term child development, and criminal recidivism. However, the pursuit of food security does not ensure nutritional sufficiency, and the program has not improved diet quality or cardiometabolic mortality (i.e., heart disease, stroke, diabetes). In this study, longitudinal cohort data are used to identify by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program status the proinflammatory characteristics that predispose to chronic disease.Methods: Between 2015 and 2018, annual 24-hour dietary recalls were conducted with 409 residents from low-income, urban neighborhoods in Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio (statistical analysis started in 2019). The Dietary Inflammatory Index was calculated. It provides empirically validated estimates of the internal inflammation that each diet should produce; higher Dietary Inflammatory Index scores have been associated with elevated inflammatory biomarkers. Finally, associations between Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Dietary Inflammatory Index were evaluated, and dietary components that differed by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program status were identified.Results: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients had higher Dietary Inflammatory Index scores (+0.40, 95% CI=0.09, 0.70) and a consistently lower intake of 4 anti-inflammatory nutrients (dietary fiber, b-carotene, magnesium, vitamin E) than nonrecipients. Vitamin D intake did not differ by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program status but was well below the Recommended Daily Allowance in this sample.Conclusions: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients had elevated Dietary Inflammatory Index scores, implying higher diet-driven inflammation. This was due, in part, to low intake of 4 anti-inflammatory food components, which were higher yet still nutritionally insufficient among nonrecipients. Findings highlight specific nutritional targets for improving public health through dietary change.
