During Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) Italy experienced deep lockdown with closure of almost all activities, with the exception for food shops and few others. During this quarantine, alteration of dietary habits occurred, due to the changes in food availability and mandatory meal house-consumption. The change in dietary habits could somehow be directed by freely accessible information available on internet. Thus, s we evaluated the type and the scientific quality of the information provided to the Italian population by the most visible web sites found on google, relating diet in Covid-19 time.
we systematically perform a reliability and content analysis of Italian language websites using google as search engine and a combinations of diet/nutrition/Covid-19 as search terms Results: 88 webpages were included in the study, the great part representing newspaper webpages. Institutional webpages, despite having high scientific quality, did not have high visibility. Generally, all the other webpages reported information of medium-quality scientific level.
finding appropriate solutions to redirect the population's attention to more reliable and accessible information is mandatory.
在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）期间，意大利经历了深度封锁，几乎所有活动都关闭了，除了食品店和其他少数几家。在这次隔离期间，由于食物供应的变化和强制性的在家用餐，饮食习惯发生了变化。饮食习惯的变化可能会受到互联网上免费提供的信息的影响。因此，我们评估了在谷歌上找到的最显眼的网站向意大利民众提供的与 COVID-19 期间饮食相关的信息的类型和科学质量。
我们使用谷歌作为搜索引擎，对意大利语网站进行了可靠性和内容分析，并使用饮食/营养/COVID-19 作为搜索词。
共有 88 个网页被纳入研究，其中大部分是报纸网页。尽管机构网页具有较高的科学质量，但知名度不高。一般来说，其他所有网页都报告了中等质量科学水平的信息。
必须找到适当的解决方案，将公众的注意力重新引导到更可靠和可访问的信息上。
