Background: Menu labeling and portion size control interventions may be effective strategies to mitigate the health risks posed by the out-of-home food environment. We conducted this scoping review to map the body of evidence (BoE) addressing the effects of menu labeling and portion size control interventions in the out-of-home food environment and to summarize the research gaps in this evidence base.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Epistemonikos, and PROSPERO in phase 1 for systematic reviews (SRs) and PubMed and Embase in phase 2 for primary studies in areas with insufficient SR evidence.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in India to investigate sudden unexplained deaths among healthy young adults (ages 18-45) possibly linked to COVID-19 infection or vaccination from October 2021 to March 2023.
- The research analyzed data from 729 cases and 2,916 matching controls, assessing factors like COVID-19 vaccination status, family history, substance use, and physical activity.
- Results indicated that receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose reduced the likelihood of sudden death, while factors such as past hospitalization for COVID-19, family history of sudden deaths, binge drinking, and intense physical activity increased the risk.
