Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science
  • Sociology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted household well-being and food consumption patterns globally.
  • Understanding dietary shifts during health crises is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the consumption frequency of recommended and non-recommended foods during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.
  • To analyze the association between food consumption patterns and sociodemographic characteristics and food security status.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the "Survey on the Follow-up of the Effects of COVID-19 on the Well-being of Mexican Households" (Encovid-19).
  • Identification of four food consumption frequency groups.
  • Logistic regression models were used, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and food security.

Main Results:

  • Higher socioeconomic levels (A/B and C) were associated with increased consumption of both recommended and non-recommended foods.
  • Mild food insecurity correlated with lower consumption of recommended foods.
  • Moderate and severe food insecurity were associated with reduced consumption across all studied food groups.

Conclusions:

  • Food insecurity experiences during the pandemic highlight the need to include traditionally overlooked populations in support programs.
  • Dietary patterns during crises are influenced by socioeconomic factors and food security levels.
