Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected people from every part of the world, with the elderly and minority groups being at a higher risk owing to the high prevalence of underlying health conditions such as atherosclerosis among these groups. This study discusses numerous implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on people consuming more unhealthy foods due to restricted access to stores and stores closing early. A lot of people currently live a sedentary lifestyle because of the strenuous quarantine measures. COVID-19 impacts the nutritional status of people leaving them at risk of atherosclerosis and worsens the health condition of individuals suffering from it. Also, the use of COVID-19 medications has been observed to have side effects in patients with atherosclerosis. Thus, we review the nutritional impact of COVID-19 and its implications on atherosclerosis at length and make recommendations for reducing future implications. This study would serve as a foundation for further research on COVID-19 and its implications on atherosclerosis as only a limited number of studies have addressed it.
