A disproportionate number of COVID-19 cases affect older, minority populations. Obese older adults are at higher risk for severe COVID-19 complications and lower survival rates; minority older adults often experience higher rates of obesity. A plant-based diet intervention may improve COVID-19 obesity modifiable risk factors. Encouraging the consumption plant-based diets consisting of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts utilizing community outreach strategies and digital technology can contribute to improving COVID-19 risk factors.
