The research - which took place across six countries, including the UK - showed that those who had plant-based diets were 73% less likely to develop severe symptoms from COVID19
Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition and food science at the University of Reading, added:"Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a lot of speculation about the impact of diet on disease risk.
"This study attempts to answer this question, but there are a number of limitations that need to be considered: The study relied entirely on self-reporting, and a lot of data have shown that self-reported dietary intake is unreliable." But Professor Francois Balloux, of the UCL Genetics Institute, commented:"The sample size is decent, and the analyses look competently performed.
"Further validation may be required to confirm a direct, causal link between diet and COVID-19 illness severity. "Indeed, unaccounted lifestyle variables correlated with diet might influence general health of the subjects of the study, and hence how well they coped with COVID-19 infection."
