This review surveys some of the areas in which nutrients have been shown to have an impact on specific immune functions, the use of molecular and genetic tools to study molecular responses to dietary factors,and the metabolic consequences of food. It also explores the relationships between nutrient molecules, genetic polymorphisms, and the biological system as a whole, while providing a short introduction to nutrition immunology, nutrient-gene interactions and the novel technologies employed in nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics research.

Factors Associated with Reported COVID-like Symptoms and Seroprevalence Data Matched with COVID-like Symptoms in Slums and Non-Slums of Two Major Cities in Bangladesh

Summary: This study aimed to examine the levels and socio-demographic differentials of reported COVID-like symptoms and seroprevalence data matched with COVID-like symptoms. The findings revealed that the odds of COVID-like symptoms were significantly higher for Chattogram city, non-slum areas, individuals with longer years of schooling, working class, and income-affected households, while households with higher income had lower odds. The odds of matched seroprevalence and COVID-like symptoms were higher for non-slum areas, individuals with longer years of schooling, and the working class. Conclusion: Collecting community-based seroprevalence data is important for assessing exposure levels and initiating mitigation and awareness programs to reduce the burden of COVID-19.
