Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nutrition Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread lockdowns, significantly impacting daily routines and lifestyle choices globally.
  • Understanding the shifts in dietary habits (DH) and eating behaviors (EB) during such periods is crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the changes in dietary habits and eating behaviors among adults in Jordan during the COVID-19-induced confinement.
  • To identify specific positive and negative dietary and behavioral shifts and their potential health implications.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • An online survey was distributed via social media platforms to collect data from adult participants in Jordan during April-May 2020.
  • The survey assessed changes in various dietary habits and eating behaviors.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 1844 adults (aged 18-72) participated.
    • Most participants reported increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, immune boosters, water, and hot beverages.
    • Conversely, increased consumption of high-calorie foods and late-night eating were reported, alongside decreased restaurant and fatty food intake.
    • Factors such as age, sex, obesity, education, income, and job type influenced these changes.

    Conclusions:

    • COVID-19 confinement prompted significant, albeit mixed, changes in adult dietary habits and eating behaviors in Jordan.
    • While positive changes like increased fruit and vegetable intake were observed, risky behaviors like increased high-calorie food consumption and late-night eating were also prevalent.
    • Findings offer valuable insights for developing targeted public health recommendations and programs for adults facing similar circumstances.
