Özet
Objective This study mainly aims to determine serum trace elements, macrominerals, and physical activity levels in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls. Materials and methods This prospective study was conducted among COVID-19 patients (group I, n= 20) and healthy controls (group II, n= 20). Serum trace element levels (Se, Fe, and Zn), macrominerals (Ca, Na, and Cl), vitamin D, ferritin, and physical activity levels were determined. Results Of the participants in group I, 90% had Se deficiency, 65% had Fe deficiency, and 35% had Zn deficiency. In addition, 45% of the participants in group II had Se deficiency. There was Ca deficiency (60%), Na deficiency (40%), and Cl deficiency (30%) in COVID-19 patients. Healthy controls did not have any macromineral deficiencies. The trace element levels including Se, Fe, and Zn were not statistically significant (p> 0.05); however, the micromineral levels including Ca, Na, and Cl were significantly lower between groups (p< 0.05). There were vitamin D deficiencies in 90% and 70% of the participants in group I and group II, respectively. Ferritin citation
