Abstract

COVID-19 is a worldwide emergency of public health that leads to lockouts, changes in the dietary pattern and life-style of the population. To assess the impact of COVID-19 mediated lockdown on nutrition, health and lifestyle patterns among teenagers aged ?18 years. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data on demographics (age, gender and place of residence), food system dimensions, dietary intake, physical activity, stress and anxiety, body image attitudes, lifestyle behaviours such as smoking, alcohol consumption, screentime and ease of access to health services. Most of the participants (n=537) were women (53.9%) aged 16 to 24. The lockdown has led to an increase in food prices (81.4%) and a decrease in the rate of physical activity (67.4%). Additionally, there is an increased intake of fruits (68.7%), meat (60%), eggs (75%) and leafy vegetables (49.9%). Around 44.5% of the people reported stress for some days. The majority of the students have increased their weight by 53.8%, weight loss by 10.6% and no change in weight by 30.2%. Approximately half (52.3%) reported challenging access to pharmaceuticals and 66.7% had medical emergency services. An increase in food price, decreased dietary diversification, unhealthy eating patterns, lack of physical activity and perceived weight gain were demonstrated during the COVID-19 induced lockdown period. Further research is needed from various socioeconomic backgrounds to obtain more definitive results which may improve the quality of life of the people.

新冠肺炎疫情封城对SRR高校本科生营养、健康和生活方式的影响
2019冠状病毒病是一场全球性的突发公共卫生事件,导致人们的饮食模式和生活方式发生变化。评估COVID-19介导的封锁对18岁青少年营养、健康和生活方式的影响。使用标准化问卷收集人口统计数据(年龄、性别和居住地)、食物系统维度、饮食摄入量、身体活动、压力和焦虑、身体形象态度、生活方式行为(如吸烟、饮酒、屏幕时间和获得卫生服务的难易程度)。大多数参与者(n=537)是16至24岁的女性(53.9%)。封锁导致食品价格上涨(81.4%),体育锻炼率下降(67.4%)。此外,水果(68.7%)、肉类(60%)、鸡蛋(75%)和叶类蔬菜(49.9%)的摄入量也有所增加。约44.5%的人表示有几天感到压力。大多数学生的体重增加了53.8%,体重减轻了10.6%,体重没有变化的30.2%。大约一半(52.3%)的人报告难以获得药品,66.7%的人有医疗急救服务。在COVID-19引发的封锁期间,食品价格上涨、饮食多样化减少、不健康的饮食模式、缺乏体育活动和体重增加都得到了证实。需要从不同的社会经济背景中进行进一步的研究,以获得可能改善人民生活质量的更明确的结果。
