Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements for Older Adults with Long COVID-19
The persistence of COVID-19 symptoms weeks or months after an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection has become one of the most burdensome legacies of the pandemic. This condition, known as long COVID syndrome, affects many persons of all age groups and is associated with substantial reductions of quality of life. Several mechanisms may be involved in long COVID syndrome, including chronic inflammation, metabolic perturbations, endothelial dysfunction, and gut dysbiosis. These pathogenic mechanisms overlap with those of the aging process and may aggravate pre-existing degenerative conditions. This review discusses bioactive foods, s...

Neuropsychological Measures of Long COVID-19 Fog in Older Subjects
Coronavirus disease 2019 is known to impact older people more severely and to cause persistent symptoms during the recovery phase, including cognitive and neurologic ones. We investigated the cognitive and neurologic features of 100 elderly patients with confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 evaluated in the postacute phase through a direct neuropsychological evaluation consisting on Mini Mental State Examination and 8 neuropsychological tests. Overall, a total of 33 participants were found to perform at a level considered to be pathologic; more specifically, 33%, 23%, and 20% failed on Trial Making, Digit Span B...

COVID-19 in the Geriatric Patient
After 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic and after 1 year of vaccination campaign (with great social and economic inequality), the SARS-CoV-2 infection continues to spread quickly in many countries around the world, with the consequent respiratory illness, and still generates a very high number of affected patients and a significantly high mortality rate.1 In this situation, the attention of researchers is mostly directed to the impact of age and multimorbidity on the prognosis of the frail and older patients.

Lifestyle Changes and Psychological Well-Being in Older Adults During COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 pandemic forced countries to adopt strategies aimed at responding to the health emergency by containing contagion. Lockdowns have ensured the achievement of this goal but imposed substantial restrictions to the freedom of movement and resulted in social isolation for a large share of vulnerable people. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and associated emergency restriction measures on the quality of life, lifestyle habits, and psychosocial status in older adults.
