Abstract in brief

  • Zinc is essential for human health and gained increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for its potential role in respiratory infections.
  • The review of 43 studies found that high dietary zinc intake might reduce the risk of certain cancers, depression, and type 2 diabetes, while zinc supplements can improve depression, sperm quality, and reduce inflammation in adults and children.
  • However, zinc supplementation may not lower all-cause mortality or COVID-19 in-hospital death rates, and higher doses do not necessarily lead to better maternal or neonatal outcomes, with some benefits observed only with moderate increases in zinc intake.
