The aims of this study were to assess the Mediterranean Diet (MD) adherence in 2566 Italians who completed the validated Medi-Lite questionnaire during the year 2020, and to investigate the effect of COVID-19 confinement on dietary habits and MD adherence. To do this, we compared subjects ( = 389) that answered the questionnaire during the confinement occurred in Italy from March to May 2020 with subjects ( = 653) who completed the questionnaire in the same period (March-May) of the previous year (2019). From the results, a moderate level of MD adherence in the total sample emerged, and a significantly (<.0001) increased adherence during lockdown was observed. Specifically, during confinement significantly ( < 0.05) higher consumption of vegetables (+9.4%), legumes (+13.5%) and pasta (+12.9%) emerged, while lower consumption was reported for bread (-13.4%) and meat and meat products (-15.4%). This study showed increased adherence to MD and a better-quality diet during the COVID-19 confinement in Italy.
本研究的目的是评估2020年完成经过验证的Medi-Lite问卷的2566名意大利人的地中海饮食（MD）依从性，并调查新冠疫情封锁措施对饮食习惯和MD依从性的影响。为此，我们将在2020年3月至5月意大利实施封锁期间回答问卷的受试者（n = 389）与上一年（2019年）同期（3月至5月）完成问卷的受试者（n = 653）进行了比较。结果显示，总样本的MD依从性处于中等水平，且在封锁期间观察到依从性显著提高（p <.0001）。具体而言，在封锁期间，蔬菜（+9.4%）、豆类（+13.5%）和面食（+12.9%）的消费量显著增加（p < 0.05），而面包（-13.4%）以及肉类和肉制品（-15.4%）的消费量则有所下降。本研究表明，在意大利新冠疫情封锁期间，MD的依从性有所提高，饮食质量也有所改善。
