Abstract

Some of these patients are also engaged in a physical activity promotion program, to assess its effects on health. In addition, we have three new ones that aim to assess: 1) whether the level of physical activity predicts the Covid-19 prognosis; 2) whether vitamin D3 supplementation (vs. placebo) is safe and effective in the treatment of Covid-19 (in partnership with Rosa MR Pereira and Elois Bonfá); and 3) what is the impact of social isolation on eating habits in groups of different ages and social strata.
