“…It has impacted health systems, economies, and social interactions on a mass scale. While even mild disease or the necessity of isolation of asymptomatic cases or quarantine of contacts have caused costs, loss of work force, delayed medical treatment and social deprivation, a death due to COVID-19 is regarded as the most severe outcome [ 2 , 3 ]. Thus, mortality data have been of major importance for guiding infection control measures.…”

Purpose The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused substantial mortality worldwide. We investigated clinical and demographic features of COVID-19-related deaths that occurred between March 2020 and January 2022 in Regensburg, Germany. Methods We compared data across four consecutive time periods: March 2020 to September 2020 (period 1), October 2020 to February 2021 (period 2), March 2021 to August 2021 (period 3), and September 2021 to January 2022 (period 4). Results Overall, 405 deaths in relation to COVID-19 were reported. The raw case fatality ratio (CFR) was 0.92. In periods 1 to 4, the CFRs were 1.70%, 2.67%, 1.06%, and 0.36%. The age-specific CFR and mortality were highest in persons aged ≥ 80 years in period 2 while mortality in younger cases increased with time. The median age at death was 84 years and it varied slightly across periods. Around 50% of cases of death were previously hospitalized. In all time periods, the cause of death was mostly attributed to COVID-19. Over the four periods, we did not find significant changes in the distribution of sex and risk factors for severe disease. The most frequent risk factor was cardio-circulatory disease. Conclusion In conclusion, the CFR decreased over time, most prominently for period 4. Mortality was considerable and younger cases were increasingly at risk.

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.

“…This is a significant concern as obesity can lead to a range of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Obesity among children in the UAE is primarily caused by poor dietary habits and lack of physical activity (Musaiger & Al-Hazzaa, 2012;Al-Sarraj et al, 2010;Rubio-Tomás et al, 2022). Many children in the UAE consume a diet that is high in processed foods and sugar, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.…”

This study aims to investigate the current state of child health in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The research is an in-depth exploration of the issues and challenges facing pediatric health in the country. Data was collected from multiple sources including government reports and academic literature, and published opinions of the healthcare professionals. The research investigates the various factors that contribute to poor child health in the UAE, including access to nutritious food, lack of physical activity, inadequate access to healthcare services, and insufficient vaccination coverage. The results of the study reveal that child health in the UAE is a matter of concern, with high rates of obesity, consumption of energy drinks and caffeine, and chronic diseases among children. Additionally, the study found that there are disparities in child health outcomes between different regions and socio-economic groups. The study highlights the need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to addressing child health issues in the UAE. The research will also examine the existing policies and programs in place to address these issues and evaluate their effectiveness. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the current state of child health in the UAE and suggest potential solutions to improve the situation. This research will be valuable for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the general public, in understanding the current state of child health in the UAE and the actions that need to be taken to improve it.
