Study finds people who practice intermittentfasting experience less severe complications from COVID-19
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for hospitalisation/mortality of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who engaged in periodic fasting compared with patients who did not, in strata defined by: Age 0.05 in three-variable models that also entered age and periodic fasting. In four-variable models entering periodic fasting, age, Hispanic ethnicity and one comorbidity, the only comorbidities retaining significance at p≤0.05 were MI history, TIA history and renal failure history .
For the secondary analysis of positive versus negative test results, the n=205 COVID-19-positive patients focused on in this paper were evaluated along with n=1319 patients who tested negative and had INSPIRE survey and other study data available. For the baseline characteristics of these patients, see. In this expanded population, subjects who routinely engaged in periodic fasting had a similar frequency of positive test results compared with subjects who were non-fasters .
The degree to which COVID-19 resulted in hospitalisation and mortality throughout the world varied substantially during the pandemic. This is due to many health, medical, biological and healthcare issues, as well as social and political challenges, that resulted in a complex patchwork of differences in risk of hospitalisation and mortality across populations.
Prior to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, Utah and Alaska were the only US states with a COVID-19 case fatality rate <1% .
