Abstract

Background: The fast spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and its high mortality were quickly considered by the health community. Dietary patterns play an important role in strengthening or weakening the immune system and thus incidence of diseases.

Aim: The present study can provide a comprehensive picture of the association between adherence to unhealthy plant-based diet (uPDI) and COVID-19 incidence.

Methods: This study was undertaken on 8157 adults' participants of the Yazd Health Study (YaHS) and Taghzieh Mardom-e-Yazd (TAMIZ) study aged 20 to 70 years. Data on dietary intakes were obtained using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between uPDI and COVID-19.

Results: We found a significant association between uPDI and the risk of COVID-19 (OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.05-1.75) in the crude model. After adjusting potential confounders, a significant increasing trend in the odds of COVID-19 across increasing quintiles of uPDI (OR: 1.58;95% CI: 1.05-2.37; P-value: 0.027) was observed. Stratified analysis based on sex indicated that uPDI significantly increased the risk of COVID-19 only in males (OR: 1.73;95% CI: 1.12-2.67; P-value: 0.012) and had no effect on females.

Conclusions: Participants in the highest quintiles of the uPDI had 58% higher odds of COVID-19 compared to subjects in the lowest quintile of uPDI. Although our study has promising results, stronger clinical studies are needed.

坚持不健康植物性饮食与 COVID-19 风险之间的关系：一项横断面研究。

背景：2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情的快速传播和高死亡率迅速引起了卫生界的关注。膳食模式在增强或削弱免疫系统、进而降低疾病发病率方面发挥着重要作用。目的：本研究可全面了解坚持不健康植物性膳食（uPDI）与 COVID-19 发病率之间的关联：本研究的对象是亚兹德健康研究（YaHS）和Taghzieh Mardom-e-Yazd（TAMIZ）研究的 8157 名成人参与者，年龄在 20 岁至 70 岁之间。膳食摄入量数据是通过有效的食物频率问卷（FFQ）获得的。采用多变量逻辑回归分析评估 uPDI 与 COVID-19 之间的关系：结果：我们发现，在粗略模型中，uPDI 与 COVID-19 风险之间存在明显关联（OR：1.36；95% CI：1.05-1.75）。在调整了潜在的混杂因素后，我们观察到 COVID-19 的几率在 uPDI 的五分位数增加时呈显著上升趋势（OR：1.58；95% CI：1.05-2.37；P 值：0.027）。基于性别的分层分析表明，uPDI 仅显著增加男性 COVID-19 的风险（OR：1.73；95% CI：1.12-2.67；P 值：0.012），对女性没有影响：结论：与uPDI最低五分位数的受试者相比，uPDI最高五分位数的受试者发生COVID-19的几率高出58%。虽然我们的研究结果很有希望，但还需要更有力的临床研究。
