EPA + DHA supplements for at least 6 months increase walking speed among the elderly

Objectives:
Do omega-3 fatty acid supplements (EPA and DHA) improve sarcopenia-related performances among the elderly?

Study design:
This review article included 10 RCTs with 552 participants.
The number of study participants ranged from 24 to 126 and the durations of the interventions spanned 10 to 24 weeks.
The doses ranged from 0.16 to 2.6 g/day of EPA and from 0 to 1.8 g/day of DHA.
The mean ages of the participants across the RCTs ranged from 63 to 75 years old.

Patients with diabetic kidney disease benefit from <0.8 g protein per kilogram body weight per day

Objectives:
A dietary protein intake (DPI) of between 0.6 and 0.8 g protein per kilogram body weight per day (g/kg/day) is frequently recommended for adults with moderate-to-advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, evidence on whether patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) actually benefit from a DPI of ≤ 0.8 g/kg/day and from a low-protein diet (LPD) at CKD stages 1-3 has not been consistent. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Atherosclerosis

Scientific studies (review articles) on the relationship between diet/nutrients and arteriosclerosis:
A review article of randomized, placebo-controlled double blind clinical trials (RCTs) will answer the following question:
"Do taking dietary supplements make sense?" Yes for a positive conclusion and no for a negative conclusion.

A review article of cohort studies or case-control studies will answer the following question:
"Should I change my diet?".

Males and patients, aged ≥50 years are at higher risk of COVID-19 severity

Objectives:
What is the impact of age, sex, comorbidities and clinical characteristics on the severity of COVID-19?

Study design:
This review article included 55 studies with a total of 10,014 patients with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.

No publication bias was found in case of age (≥50 years, age ≥65 years), comorbidities and clinical manifestations.

<3 cups/d coffee is essential for the prevention of dyslipidemia

Objectives:
Dyslipidemia is a common metabolic disease worldwide and also an important predisposing factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Coffee is loved by people all over the world; however, the association between coffee consumption and blood lipids has yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Nearly half of COVID-19 infection in children under 5 years are asymptomatic

Objectives:
Emerging evidence suggests young children are at greater risk of COVID-19 infection than initially predicted. However, a comprehensive understanding of epidemiology of COVID-19 infection in young children under 5 years, the most at-risk age-group for respiratory infections, remain unclear. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.
