dc.description.abstract | Objective: This study mainly aims to determine serum trace elements, macrominerals, and physical activity levels in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy con-trols. Materials and methods: This prospec-tive study was conducted among COVID-19 patients (group I, n = 20) and healthy con-trols (group II, n = 20). Serum trace element levels (Se, Fe, and Zn), macrominerals (Ca, Na, and Cl), vitamin D, ferritin, and physical activity levels were determined. Results: Of the participants in group I, 90% had Se defi-ciency, 65% had Fe deficiency, and 35% had Zn deficiency. In addition, 45% of the par-ticipants in group II had Se deficiency. There was Ca deficiency (60%), Na deficiency (40%), and Cl deficiency (30%) in COVID-19 patients. Healthy controls did not have any macromineral deficiencies. The trace ele-ment levels including Se, Fe, and Zn were not statistically significant (p > 0.05); how-ever, the micromineral levels including Ca, Na, and Cl were significantly lower between groups (p < 0.05). There were vitamin D de-ficiencies in 90% and 70% of the participants in group I and group II, respectively. Ferritin levels were significantly higher in group I than group II (p < 0.05). All the participants had low physical activity levels in group I, and 40% of the participants had low physi-cal activity levels in group II. Conclusion: This study showed that COVID-19 patients might have lower Ca, Na, and Cl levels than healthy adults. In addition, high rates of Se, Fe, Ca and vitamin D deficiencies, and ferritin lev-els may be seen in COVID-19 patients. More-over, COVID-19 patients may have low levels of physical activity. | en_US |
