the radius. In radio only 2 patients had z-score under -1 where in tibia were
9, and from those 3 had z-score lower than -2.
There was a correlation between amenorrhea duration and disease duration. No significant associations were found between with bone strength.
Conclusion: Longer time on amenorrhea has an negative impact on bone
density.

Rationale: Evaluate the effects of the Mediterranean Diet (MD) on mortality from COVID-19 disease in hospitalized patients with severe disease.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study that included all patients with
diagnosis of COVID-19 who were nutritionally assessed during the period
from January to March 2021.The data included clinical and demographic
information
(sex,age,BMI,Nutritional-status,diabetes,hypertension,ICU
eligibility,Charlson index,HDL,LDL,Cholesterol,IL6,Ferritin and D-dimer).
Adherence to MD was evaluated using the Predimed questionnaire. Patients were followed after discharge for one month. Bivariate analysis was
performed to evaluate differences according to MD adherence using nonparametric statistical tests. Statistical analyses were performed by Cox
regression; hazard ratios (HRs) for associations of MD adherence with
mortality were estimated. BMI, sex and age were included in the Cox
model as potential confounders. Level of significance was regarded as p
value< 0.05.The data were analyzed with the SPSS program.
Results: 89 patients were recruited.Median (SD) age was 72,4(22.3)years,
29.7% were woman. 58 patients (65.2%)had adequate adherence to MD
(PREDIMED score 8). Mortality of patients was 48.4% in non-adherent
MD, and 25.9% in MD-adherent.There was no statistically significant difference in the basal characteristics and nutritional biomarkers between
both cohorts,except for HDL.MD-adherence was significantly associated
with a reduced overall mortality HR[95%CI]:0.47[0.22-0.99].These results
remained statistically significant after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI.
Conclusion: MD-adherent patients had a significant higher survival
compared to non-adherent. Our study has a small sample size and
observational design,so causal relationship between lower mortality and
MD cannot be concluded,but the hypothesis of its protective effect deserves to be studied in more detail.
