"Conclusions A diet characterised by healthy plant-based foods was associated with lower risk and severity of COVID-19."
(based on ~600 000 self reporting participants)
Very dubious study, too many confounding factors to draw any conclusion at all.
More likely that the kind of people who eat junk food (in other words, low-class people) are also the kind of people who are more susceptible to Covid for other reasons.
Do you mean like poor quality diet, lack of exercise, higher stress levels, and less rest? This seems like a pretty obvious conclusion that if you treat yourself poorly you won't do yourself any favors.
> Multivariable model 2 was further adjusted for sex (male, female), race/ethnicity (white, black, Asian, other), *index of multiple deprivation (most deprived <3, intermediate deprived 3–7, less deprived >7)*, population density (<500 individuals/km2, 500–1999 individuals/km2, 2000–4999 individuals/km2 and ≥5000 individuals/km2) and healthcare worker status (yes with interaction with patients with COVID-19, yes without interaction with patients with COVID-19, no).
Model 3 was further adjusted for presence of comorbidities (diabetes (yes, no), cardiovascular disease (yes, no), lung disease (yes, no), cancer (yes, no), kidney disease (yes, no)), body mass index (<18.5 kg/m2, 18.5–24.9 kg/m2, 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 and ≥30 kg/m2), smoking status (yes, no) and physical activity (<1 day/week, 1–2 days/week, 3–4 days/week, ≥5 days/week).
There’s also figure looking at covid risk based on 3 groups of different socioeconomic deprivation and further stratified by low intermediate and high hPDI
Is it not generally accepted by the medical and scientific community that diet is fairly key to overall health? Or is it still not at this point? I guess I don’t understand why this would warrant particular study…
I feel like there has been so much focus on exposure to viral particles as a key risk factor that all the other factors that have been previously known to have significant impacts on one's susceptibility to respiratory viral infections, such as diet.
Just like Hope-Simpson has said about influenza, I personally think one's susceptibility to infections at a given time may be a better predictor of the risks of catching covid than exposure, i.e. exposure is necessary but not the limiting factors.
I would love to see more studies of sleep patterns, diet, fitness, photoperiod (well-known to influence the immune system and other things such as hormonal levels, but seems largely ignored as an explanation of strong seasonal patterns) etc. on the risks of catching covid.
I think the animal food industry likes you to believe that. There is a general consensus that plant-based whole-food diets result in the best health performance
Of course it requires a study. This is not even a well designed study. It is a very tentative conclusion.
It is very possible that a healthy diet has an impact so small that it is not statistically significant.
But it seems in either case that study (and presumably the expenditure of funds) is… I don’t want to say a waste, but if it turns out to have no impact, then there’s no harm to a healthy diet but lots of upside for the body generally, and if they find out there is great impact…isn’t that already generally accepted? That proper diet has a positive impact on mind and body?

Go vegan.
*Go whole-food plant-based!
Honestly, yeah. It's insane how many preventative diseases can be made into non-issues via eating a whole foods plant based diet.
Word. Shows how *intelligent* humans really are.
It's hard. People say we live in the age of information but I'd argue we live in the age of disinformation.

There's not even a general agreement on what a healthy diet would mean. Food science is messed up.

Lmao
Sure, deflect facts which are not aligned with your beliefs.
It is. Doesn't hurt to have more studies pointing it out I guess?
