Background: Acute respiratory syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can trigger the occurrence of respiratory infectious disease Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients who have comorbid health problems such as hypertension, chronic liver, cardiovascular and diabetes mellitus are more likely to experience deterioration and death. ACE inhibitor therapy in patients with hypertension has a therapeutic effect in lowering blood pressure and is able to reduce mortality rates in COVID-19 patients, but the benefits of ACE inhibitors in patients with COVID-19 are still uncertain. This study aims to determine how much influence ACE inhibitors have on COVID-19 patients with hypertension on mortality rates. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: COVID-19 patients with hypertension. Intervention: administration of ACE inhibitor therapy. Comparison: therapy other than ACE inhibitors. Outcome: mortality. The articles used in this study were obtained from several online databases, including Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar. The keywords used in the article search were: "ACE inhibitor" AND "COVID-19" AND "Hypertension" AND "mortality". The articles included are full-text English with a cohort study design from 2020 to 2021 and report the odds ratio in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles was carried out using the PRISMA flow chart. The articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4. application.

The pandemic related to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, caused severe impacts in many important sectors for health and the entire society. We can observe that curiously the number of notifications related to arboviruses ended up decreasing as the notification related to COVID-19 increased [1]. Currently, we live in a paradigm where globalization itself offers factors for the incidence of arboviruses. We can consider environmental, socioeconomic factors and, above all, climate change imposed by urbanization and also by the exacerbated consumption of natural resources. Arboviruses are diseases transmitted by the bite of hematophagous arthropods and although many of them present different forms of horizontal transmission and in most cases, present symptoms of a common nature, such as headaches, skin patches, arthralgias, myalgias, in addition to the encephalitogenic potential that these viruses usually present [2]. All these points mentioned are strong factors that contribute to the re-emergence of diseases [3]. One of the most important factors for the increase in the proliferation of arthropod vectors is precisely the tropical position where Brazil is located, with the hot climate and the high amount of rain, it offers favorable reservoirs for these mosquitoes to lay their eggs and carry out their growth and development. We can also point out the socioeconomic factors related to social inequality observed in the country, where economically disadvantaged populations often face problems of basic sanitation and especially of housing close to reservoirs where mosquitoes inhabit and develop, thus increasing the incidence of these diseases [4].

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 or known as COVID-19 is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Comorbidities that are risk factors for COVID-19 death include hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, COPD, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), kidney failure, and cancer. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the risk of death in COVID-19 patients with comorbid HIV, with a meta-analysis of the primary studies conducted by the previous authors. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: COVID-19 patients. Intervention: HIV comorbidity. Comparison: without co-morbid HIV. Outcome: Mortality. The articles used in this study were obtained from four databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, Springerlink, and Science direct, using the search keys "HIV/AIDS" AND "Mortality" OR "death" AND "COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2. The included article is a full-text English language with a cohort study design from 2020 to 2021 and reports the adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) in a multivariate analysis. Article selection is done by using PRISMA flow diagram. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A total of 9 cohort studies involving 3,397,186 COVID-19 patients from America, Europe, and Africa were selected for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The data collected showed that COVID-19 patients with HIV comorbidities had a mortality risk of 3.30 times compared to COVID-19 patients without HIV comorbidities (aOR = 3.30;95% CI = 2.87 to 3.81;p<0.001). Conclusion: HIV increases mortality risk in COVID-19 patients.

Background: Obesity has become a serious public health problem in both developed and developing countries. Excessive alcohol consumption in adults is a global problem that needs further investigation. The adult age group has a high enough risk of being overweight and obese. The purpose of this study was to estimate the relationship between alcohol consumption and age on obesity. Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic study and meta-analysis. The articles used in this study were obtained from the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. The articles used are articles that have been published from 2012-2022. The search for articles was carried out by considering the eligibility criteria determined using the PICO model. P= adults, I= alcohol consumption and middle age, C= no alcohol consumption and early adulthood, O= obesity. The keywords to search for articles were as follows: “Alcohol Consumption” OR “Alcohol Intake” AND “Age” AND “Obesity” OR “Body Mass Index” and “aOR”. The articles included in this study are full text articles with a cross-sectional research design. Articles were collected using the PRISMA flow chart. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: There are 13 articles consisting of 2 studies from North America (Nicaragua, United States), 1 study from South America (Brazil), 1 study from Europe (Portugal), 7 studies from Africa (Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Ghana), and 2 studies from Asia (Cambodia, Thailand) were included in this meta-analysis. 7 cross-sectional studies showed that alcohol consumption increased the risk of obesity in adults 2.05 times compared with those who did not consume alcohol (aOR= 2.05; 95% CI= 1.26 to 3.33; p= 0.004). A meta-analysis of 7 cross-sectional studies showed that middle age increased the risk of obesity 2.57 times compared with early adulthood (aOR= 2.57; 95% CI= 1.99 to 3.30; p = 0.001). Conclusion: Alcohol consumption and age are risk factors for obesity in adults.

Background: Alcoholic drink is a type of drink that contains ingredients similar to alcohol, usually ethyl alcohol or ethanol. Cardiovascular disease or also known as heart disease, generally refers to conditions that involve narrowing or blocking of blood vessels. The cardiovascular effects of alcohol consumption seen in observational studies continue to be hotly debated in the thematic literature and popular media. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease in adults Subjects and Method: This is a meta-analysis study using PRISMA flowchart guidelines and the articles were published in English from 2013 to 2022. The article search was conducted using the PICO model, Population: Adults, Intervention: Alcohol consumption. Comparison: No Consumption of alcoholic beverages. Articles obtained from the PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect databases. Based on the database, there were 9 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis was carried out using Revman 5.3. software. Results: There were 9 articles from Asia, North America, and Europe, 2 articles from South Korea, 2 articles from China, 1 article from Japan, 1 article from the United States (USA), 1 article from England, 1 article from Spain and 1 article from Eastern Europe. Based on the results of the forest plot using a cohort study, it showed that someone who consumes alcohol has a high risk of cardiovascular disease by 2.83 times compared to someone who does not consume alcohol which is associated with cardiovascular disease (aHR= 2.83; CI 95%= 2.67 to 3.00; p <0.001). Conclusion: Adults who consume alcohol are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
