Abstract

A previously unknow new virus was identified, subsequently named the 2019 novel corona virus was named corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by (WHO February 202) the virus is referred to as SARS-CoV-2 and the associated disease is Covid-19. COVID-19 is spread by dust particles and Formites while close unsafe touch between the infector and the infected individual. The clinical features of SARS-CoV-2 infection, namely a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), range from asymptomatic to severe condition including respiratory and multiorgan failure. The human body contains chemical compounds such as water, carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleic acid (DNA and RNA). These compounds are composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Any study done to determine nutritional status must take into account the state of the body before and after experiments, as well as the chemical composition of the whole diet and of all the materials excreted and eliminated from the body. The present study aims to assess the nutritional impacts was conducted among 60 older adults affected Covid-19. Purposive sampling technique was used to select samples. Structured interview was used collect demographic data and Nutrition was assessed using Mini Nutritional Assessment. The study results shows that the demographic variables monthly income of the family and how long can you sleep after affected with corona had shown statistically significant association with level of nutritional impact among older adults affected with Covid-19 at p≤0.001 and p<0.01 level respectively and the other demographic variables food pattern and do you exercise daily had not shown statistically significant association with level of nutritional impact among older adults affected with Covid-19.
