Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic upended many aspects of daily life. For some individuals, this was an opportunity to re-evaluate their life and make better choices, while others were overwhelmed with stressors, leading to a deterioration in mental and physical health.

Aim: The aim of this narrative systematic review is to explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Mediterranean diet adherence.

Methods: A systematic literature search was carried out on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases utilising the search terms 'Mediterranean diet' AND 'COVID-19'. This yielded 73 articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria.

Results: The data suggests that a substantial proportion of individuals adhered less to the Mediterranean diet during the COVID-19 lockdown period. However, individuals receiving some form of lifestyle intervention had better adherence to the Mediterranean diet than their unassisted counterparts.

Conclusion: This emphasises the importance of professional support during times of crisis to avoid deterioration of a population's health.

COVID-19 大流行对坚持地中海饮食的影响：叙事性系统综述。

背景：COVID-19 大流行颠覆了日常生活的许多方面。对一些人来说，这是一个重新评估生活并做出更好选择的机会，而另一些人则被各种压力压得喘不过气来，导致身心健康恶化。目的：本系统性综述旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行对地中海饮食坚持率的影响：在 PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science 电子数据库中使用 "地中海饮食 "和 "COVID-19 "两个检索词进行了系统性文献检索。结果显示，73 篇文章符合纳入标准：数据表明，在 COVID-19 禁闭期间，相当一部分人较少坚持地中海饮食。然而，接受某种生活方式干预的患者对地中海饮食的坚持程度要好于未接受干预的患者：这强调了在危机时期提供专业支持以避免人口健康恶化的重要性。
