Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on human health and has led to social isolation and health implications. In order to optimize public health, it is important to understand the role of social and behavioral sciences, including dietary patterns and lifestyle changes. This study aimed to identify the effect of lockdown on dietary patterns and its association with Body Mass Index (BMI) and lifestyle changes in the older Indian population (aged 60 and above).The study was conducted using an online web-based Google form and 674 participants took part over a one-month period. The k-means algorithm was used to identify non-overlapping dietary patterns and logistic regression was employed to determine the factors associated with changes in dietary patterns. Three dietary patterns were identified: pro-healthy, constant, and unhealthy.During the study, 33.1% of the participants decreased their physical activity while 61.6% increased their screen usage. 26.7% consumed a pro-healthy dietary pattern, while 61.9% consumed an unhealthy dietary pattern. Women reported lower consumption of the pro-healthy pattern (23.8%) and higher consumption of the unhealthy dietary pattern (64.5%) compared to men (30.6% and 58.3%, respectively). Adherence to the pro-healthy dietary pattern was positively associated with age. Participants with a lower BMI were less likely to consume a pro-healthy dietary pattern [AOR: 0.02; CI: 0.01, 0.2]. Those who increased their physical activity were more likely to follow the pro-healthy dietary pattern [AOR: 6.49; CI: 0.76, 55.76]. Those who had less sleep [AOR: 10.22; CI: 1.97, 52.92] and more screen time [AOR: 7.61; CI: 3.28, 17.62] had a higher risk of following an unhealthy dietary pattern.The lockdown had a significant impact on dietary patterns and was associated with unhealthy lifestyle outcomes among older Indian adults. From a public health perspective, promoting awareness of healthy dietary patterns and promoting healthy lifestyles through educational programs is a priority.

COVID-19 封锁期间的饮食模式和生活方式变化:对 674 名印度老年人进行的横断面在线调查
COVID-19 大流行对人类健康产生了重大影响,并导致了社会隔离和健康问题。为了优化公共卫生,必须了解社会和行为科学的作用,包括饮食模式和生活方式的改变。本研究旨在确定封锁对印度老年人群(60 岁及以上)饮食模式的影响及其与身体质量指数(BMI)和生活方式改变的关联。研究采用 k-means 算法识别非重叠饮食模式,并利用逻辑回归确定与饮食模式变化相关的因素。在研究期间,33.1% 的参与者减少了体育锻炼,61.6% 的参与者增加了屏幕使用量。26.7%的人摄入了有利于健康的饮食模式,61.9%的人摄入了不利于健康的饮食模式。与男性(分别为 30.6% 和 58.3%)相比,女性摄入有利于健康的饮食模式的比例较低(23.8%),而摄入不利于健康的饮食模式的比例较高(64.5%)。赞成健康饮食模式的坚持率与年龄呈正相关。体重指数(BMI)较低的参与者较少摄入有利于健康的饮食模式[AOR:0.02;CI:0.01,0.2]。增加体育锻炼的人更有可能采用有利于健康的饮食模式[AOR:6.49;CI:0.76,55.76]。睡眠时间较少[AOR:10.22;CI:1.97,52.92]和屏幕时间较多[AOR:7.61;CI:3.28,17.62]的人采用不健康饮食模式的风险较高。从公共卫生的角度来看,通过教育计划提高人们对健康饮食模式的认识和推广健康的生活方式是当务之急。

期刊介绍: As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
