The interrelationship between nutritional status, health, and COVID-19 progress. Several mechanisms have been implicated in COVID-19 progress. Host-related factors include sex, age, and lung and metabolic diseases. A more unknown aspect is the interrelationship between nutritional status and health at not only the individual, but also the community and global levels. Several factors contribute to nutritional status, including economic stability; medical comorbidities; racism or other discrimination; and food insecurity, as determined by unequal access to essential nutrients or healthy food. All condition community and individual health status such that, through impaired innate and acquired immunity or unhealthy gut microbiota, they predispose individuals to infectious diseases as well as more aggressive and severe COVID-19 disease.
