SARS-CoV 2 (Covid-19) Heterogeneous Mortality Rates across Countries May Be Partly Explained by Life Expectancy, Calorie Intake, and Prevalence of Diabetes.	2020-10-21		.txt	text/plain	2731	149	48	title: SARS-CoV 2 (Covid-19) Heterogeneous Mortality Rates across Countries May Be Partly Explained by Life Expectancy, Calorie Intake, and Prevalence of Diabetes. In most European countries where the Covid-19 mortality rate is currently higher, the proportion of elderly (>65 years) individuals and life expectancy are also high (https://www.worldometers.info/ coronavirus/). Therefore, we developed and tested a hypothesis that countries that consume higher immunity boosting foods (fruits, vegetables, spices) and are exposed to fewer immunity suppressing factors (smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol, high caloric consumption, pollution) have lower Covid-19 deaths per million population (C19DM) than those countries consuming less immunity boosting food and are highly exposed to immunity suppressing factors. Among the factors we examine in this study, the data suggest that prevalence of diabetes, life expectancy, and calorie intake might have significant effect on C19DM and may partly explain the heterogeneity in Covid-19 mortality observed so far.	./cache/cord-313148-dps5dyhr.txt	./txt/cord-313148-dps5dyhr.txt
