About

The nutritional consequences of the infection by the SARS-CoV-2 are as follows:

• A severe respiratory infection induces an inflammatory syndrome and hypercatabolism, as well as an increase in energy expenditure related to ventilatory work; nutritional requirements (calories and protein) are therefore increased.
• Food intake is often reduced by several factors: anorexia secondary to infection, respiratory discomfort, anosmia, ageusia, obesity, stress, confinement, organizational problems limiting meal assistance.

Then, it is important to asses the nutritional status of COVID patients hospitalized in conventional COVID units (excluding intensive care).
