Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Questionnaires will be used to determine a general nutritional score (e.g., the healthy eating index HEI) in the cohorts of the enable cluster (n= 460). This score will then be compared with the results obtained in pre-pandemic times. In addition, 200 SARS-CoV-2 positive-tested volunteers will be recruited, who will also provide information on their eating habits in order to calculate the HEI and compare between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As a secondary goal, levels of vitamin D, selenium, and zinc from finger blood will be measured to investigate a potential association of these with symptomatic or asymptomatic progression.
