The stress and anxiety caused by COVID-19 lockdown may have changed the eating habits of the population. Our aim is to assess the eating changes that have taken place due to the pandemic.
Data were collected through an electronic survey created by the Health Economics Research Group of the University of Cantabria and IDIVAL and conducted between 14/01/2021 and 19/02/2021. A total of 1,417 responses were recorded, but only 507 complete observations were considered. We carried out a cross-sectional analysis through ordered probit regressions.
The improvement in post-confinement eating habits is associated with higher income level, better self-assessed health status and more physical activity. The worsening of eating habits is associated with having a certain level of nomophobia or the fear of contagion.
Our analysis can be used for designing and implementing new strategies to overcome the negative spill overs of the COVID-19 pandemic and improve the dietary patterns.
COVID-19 封锁带来的压力和焦虑可能改变了人们的饮食习惯。我们旨在评估大流行带来的饮食变化。
数据通过由坎塔布里亚大学健康经济研究组和 IDIVAL 创建的电子调查收集，并于 2021 年 1 月 14 日至 2 月 19 日进行。共记录了 1417 份回复，但仅考虑了 507 份完整观察结果。我们通过有序概率回归进行了横断面分析。
禁闭后饮食习惯的改善与更高的收入水平、更好的自我评估健康状况和更多的身体活动有关。饮食习惯的恶化与一定程度的 nomophobia（对传染的恐惧）有关。
我们的分析可用于设计和实施新策略，以克服 COVID-19 大流行的负面溢出效应并改善饮食模式。
