Objetivo: Sistematizar conhecimentos sobre as implicações da pandemia do COVID-19 nos hábitos alimentares. Método: Este estudo constitui uma revisão integrativa desenvolvida a partir da seleção sistemática da literatura científica voltada para os efeitos da pandemia do COVID-19 na alimentação. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de 11 de agosto a 19 de setembro de 2020, onde a busca bibliográfica dos artigos se deu nas bases de dados Scielo, PubMed, BVS, Medline e LILACS. Resultados e Discussão: Foram selecionados 31 artigos para leitura e fichamento, por estarem dentro da temática proposta. As restrições provocadas pelo isolamento resultaram em consequências na saúde mental, no estilo de vida e hábitos alimentares, redução no consumo de alimentos in natura e ganho de peso. Em contrapartida, notou-se padrões opostos entre as pesquisas, onde houve uma maior ingestão de vegetais/frutas e menor consumo de junk food, redução no consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e comportamentos alimentares mais saudáveis quando comparados aos hábitos anteriores. Considerações Finais: Neste contexto, vê-se a necessidade de novos estudos que avaliem a qualidade nutricional da alimentação durante e pós pandemia e a inserção de ações e programas intensivos que atuem como forma de promover suporte para uma dieta saudável e variada.
The present study aimed to analyze changes in food consumption among teachers of state schools in Minas Gerais in the context of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This is a cross-sectional study of teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools in Minas Gerais. An online questionnaire was made available to all participants through the Google Forms platform. For the analysis, sociodemographic, economic, occupational profile, health conditions, and behavioral/habitual variables were used. Food consumption was assessed through the weekly frequency of eating foods considered healthy and unhealthy before and during the pandemic. The changes observed in the frequency were classified as: decreased intake, no change in intake, and increased intake during the pandemic. Statistical analysis was performed using bivariate and multiple analysis using the Multinomial Logistics Regression model. The data were tabulated with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 18.0. A total of 15,641 teachers participated in this study, with an average age of 42.96 (±9.27) years, and most of them were female (81.9%). During the pandemic, approximately 40% reported altered sleep quality and alcohol consumption, and lack of physical activity with 60.4% of the professionals categorized as overweight. During this period, there was an increase in the consumption of sweets (19.5%), soft drinks (13.3%), sausages (12.0%), frozen foods (8.9%), salty foods (6.3%), vegetables (13.1%), fruits (12.6%), and wholegrain products (8.3%). In the regression analysis, several factors were found to be associated with changes in teachers’ food consumption in a bidirectional way when associated with variables related to sociodemographic characteristics, occupational profile, general health, and lifestyle.
