ABSTRACT
Lockdown and social distancing due to COVID-19 affected the mental health and lifestyle of the population. However, there is insufficient evidence of alterations in eating behavior. Our study seeks to describe the relationship between eating behavior and eating habits among Chilean adults during the confinement period. A sample of 760 Chilean subjects was analyzed, who answered surveys using Google Forms, considering demographic characteristics, social distancing, dietary habits and EB. More than half of the participants consider that their dietary intake increased during confinement. Changes in dietary intake were analyzed according to food group, and a decrease in the consumption of fish, fruits and dairy products was observed, while legumes, processed foods and soft drinks showed an increase, which represents risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. When analyzing eating behavior, a greater difficulty in stopping eating was observed when faced with external stimuli; increased intake associated with complex emotional situations, and when isolating the group that decreased their intake of unhealthy foods, a greater ability to limit their intake for weight control was reported. Our results are similar to other studies, and they reinforce that confinement is related to eating behavior, leading to changes in eating habits, which indicates that, at the public health level, post-pandemic nutritional strategies, should be focused on regulating eating behavior in order to guide habits towards healthy eating.
RESUMEN
El confinamiento y distanciamiento social debido al COVID-19 afectó la salud mental y hábitos de vida de la población. Sin embargo, no existe suficiente evidencia de alteraciones en la conducta alimentaria (CA). Nuestro estudio busca establecer la relación entre la conducta alimentaria y los hábitos alimentarios en adultos chilenos durante el periodo de confinamiento. Se analizó una muestra de 760 sujetos chilenos, quienes contestaron encuestas mediante Google Forms, considerando características demográficas, distanciamiento social, hábitos dietéticos y (CA). Más de la mitad de los participantes considera que su ingesta alimentaria aumentó durante el confinamiento. Se analizó los cambios en ingesta según grupo de alimentos, y se observó una disminución en la ingesta de pescados, frutas y lácteos, mientras que legumbres, alimentos procesados y bebidas azucaradas presentaron un aumento, lo cual representa factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Al analizar la CA se observó una mayor dificultad para dejar de comer frente a estímulos externos, aumento de la ingesta asociado a situaciones emocionales complejas, y al aislar al grupo que disminuyó su ingesta de alimentos no saludables se reportó una mayor capacidad para limitar la ingesta para el control del peso. Nuestros resultados son similares con otros estudios, y refuerzan que el confinamiento se relaciona con la CA, conduciendo a cambios en los hábitos de alimentación, lo cual nos indica que, a nivel de salud pública, las estrategias nutricionales post-pandemia, deben estar enfocadas en regular la CA con el objetivo de guiar los hábitos a una alimentación saludable.
