“… 16 31 University students in other nations except Bangladesh were found to be more informed and to have better preventive behaviours than those we found for adolescents in our study. 19 However, the majority of the participants reported that mass media (eg, television channels and papers) was the primary source of information regarding COVID-19, which corresponds to previous findings among Jordanian adolescents. 30 This contrasts with recent KAP studies among general Bangladeshi people, that found social media (eg, Facebook) to be the most used source of knowledge regarding COVID-19.…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the understanding, opinions and actions concerning COVID-19, referred to as knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP), among rural adolescents in Bangladesh. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the determinants that may influence adolescents’ KAP.DesignAn interview-based cross-sectional study.SettingThe study area was the Thakurgaon district, which was located in the northwestern region of Bangladesh.ParticipantsA total of 266 rural adolescents were selected using a non-probability (convenience sampling) technique.Main outcome measuresSociodemographic characteristics, source of information, COVID-19-related KAP, and their associated factors.ResultsThe majority of the respondents were females and reported that mass media (eg, television channels and papers) was the main source of information to learn about COVID-19. The mean score for knowledge was 7.15±3, whereas the scores were 10.5±2.8, and 8.78±2.66 for attitude and practice, respectively. Among the adolescents, only 11% had adequate knowledge, a positive attitude (27%) and good practices (31%). The predictive factors related to adolescents' knowledge and attitude were their religion, educational level and family income. Adolescents who were from the Islamic religion and who had secondary education were more knowledgeable and encompassed more positive attitudes. Besides, poor KAP towards COVID-19 was significantly higher among the participants with the lowest family income (less than 10 000 BDT). Moreover, their knowledge was significantly associated with their attitudes and practices.ConclusionThe study found that adolescents in rural areas lacked sufficient knowledge of COVID-19 and engaged in unsatisfactory preventative behaviour. Therefore, the development of effective health education programmes that incorporate consideration of KAP-modifying factors is needed. In addition, the result would be helpful for other similar types of pandemics.

“…The rapid spread of COVID-19 globally is attributable to its long incubation period, high transmission rate, and asymptomatic status among carriers. 1 In December 2022, China changed the prevention strategy of COVID-19, with a policy of strict control to open policy, which may lead to the epidemic of diseases. Due to the general susceptibility of new coronaviruses, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and evaluate the impact of different risk factors on the prognosis of patients.…”

Background: Nutrition is an important prevention in old patients with COVID-19. However, in China, there are few studies on the correlation between nutrition and COVID-19. Methods: A total of 148 hospitalized to 101] years old) patients were enrolled in this study. The information of demographic, biochemical results, vaccination doses, types of COVID-19, PCR test negative conversion time, and scores of Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) for evaluating nutritional status were recorded. We first explored the relationships between MNA-SF performance and the severities of COVID-19 in the groups with non-vaccinated, vaccinated, and all the patients using multivariable ordinal logistic regression. Further, we explored the relationships between performance of MNA-SF and the time of negative conversion of PCR in the groups with non-vaccinated, vaccinated, and all the patients using COX proportional hazards survival regression. Results: Group of patients with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition group was associated with older of the age, those who had not been vaccinated, in fewer people who were asymptomatic type and in more people who showed longer of the negative conversion time of PCR, lower of the BMI, and the lower of the hemoglobin level. Each additional increase of one point of MNA-SF was associated with a 17% decrease in the odds of a worse type of COVID-19 in all patients, and the significant result exists in non-vaccinated patients. One point increase of MNA-SF was associated with increased 11% of hazard ratios of turning negative of PCR and wellnourished group was associated with increased 46% of hazard ratio of turning negative of PCR. Conclusion: Higher nutrition is associated with less severity of COVID-19, especially in the non-vaccinated group. Higher nutrition is also associated with shorter time of turning negative of PCR in non-ICU COVID-19 patients.

“…However, there were no differences in how much they cared or the learning state between female and male students in the process of online learning. It has been found that the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) scores showed no significant difference among female and male students [ 17 ]. Counterparts also revealed that half of female students have higher anxiety states and lower sleep quality, and like people with COVID-19 infection, females had higher rates of anxiety, depression, sleep problems during the pandemic [ 18 ].…”
