This study aimed to examine the impact of quarantine on eating habits and lifestyle behaviors among the Lebanese adult population. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire designed on Google Forms between 3 June and 28 June 2020. The survey questions were adapted from the Short Food Frequency Questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, and the second version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire. A total of 2,507 adults completed the questionnaire. During the lockdown, 32.8% claimed weight gain, 44.7% did not eat fruits daily, 35.3% did not eat vegetables on daily basis, and 72.9% reported drinking less than eight cups of water per day. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the number of meals consumed per day, consumption of homemade meals, sedentary time, stress, and sleeping disturbances during the pandemic compared to before the pandemic (all < 0.001). However, there was a significant decrease in physical activity engagement, sleep quality, and energy level during the lockdown compared to before the pandemic (all < 0.001). The study highlights that the COVID-19 lockdown was associated with unfavorable changes in dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors in Lebanon. Sleep and mental health were also negatively impacted by the pandemic.
本研究旨在调查隔离对黎巴嫩成年人群饮食习惯和生活方式行为的影响。2020年6月3日至6月28日期间,采用谷歌表单设计的在线问卷进行了一项横断面研究。调查问卷问题改编自简短食物频率问卷、国际体力活动问卷简表和哥本哈根心理社会问卷第二版。共有2507名成年人完成了问卷。在封锁期间,32.8%的人声称体重增加,44.7%的人并非每天都吃水果,35.3%的人并非每天都吃蔬菜,72.9%的人报告每天饮水量不足八杯。此外,与疫情前相比,疫情期间每天用餐次数、自制餐食的消费量、久坐时间、压力和睡眠障碍均显著增加(均P<0.001)。然而,与疫情前相比,封锁期间身体活动参与度、睡眠质量和能量水平显著下降(均P<0.001)。该研究强调,COVID-19封锁与黎巴嫩饮食习惯和生活方式行为的不利变化有关。疫情对睡眠和心理健康也产生了负面影响。
