To analyze the evidence in the scientific literature that relates Long-Covid and obesity, a narrative review of articles published in English and Spanish in Medline and Embase in the last 5years has been carried out. Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes a systemic inflammatory state increasing nutritional demand that favors sarcopenia in Long-Covid syndrome. It also causes endothelial dysfunction and a prothrombotic state that favors the formation of microthrombi and tissue hypoxia.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between the monetary cost of food and diet quality in Spanish older adults at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was carried out in Spanish older adults ( = 6,838; 48.
The current paradigm in the nutrition sciences states that the basic nutritional unit is not the nutrients, but the foods that contain them (oils, nuts, dairy products, eggs, red or processed meats, etc.). These act as a food matrix in which the different nutrients synergistically or antagonistically modulate their effects on the various metabolic pathways determining health and disease.
