“…In the present study, we did not find any association between stress and consumption pattern of healthy food such as fruits and vegetables in either male or female students. A study by Zellner, et al (2006) reported that women who are stressed ate more unhealthy food (snacks, chocolate/candies) than women who are not stressed, while unstressed men had significantly higher consumption of unhealthy foods than did men in the stress group. Further, a number of other studies also reported a higher consumption of "unhealthy" eating among stressed females [6,8,20].…”

“…The intake of snack type foods, pre-prepared ready-to-eat foods and sweet foods such as chocolate, cakes and ice-cream, was found to increase among students experiencing stress [6,8,10]; while the intake of healthy food such as vegetables tended to decrease [5,6].…”

“…There is evidence to support that stress can affect an individual's health not only through direct physiological processes but also by altering behaviors which affect health [5,6]. Change in diet patterns is one such health behavioral response to stress observed in different population groups.…”

“…Change in diet patterns is one such health behavioral response to stress observed in different population groups. Some studies have shown that stressed individuals tended to increase consumption of high calorie and high fat snack foods [5,6] which may culminate in weight gain and obesity [7]. While there is widespread scientific acceptance of a relationship between psychological stress and eating behaviors the findings are inconsistent.…”

“…While there is widespread scientific acceptance of a relationship between psychological stress and eating behaviors the findings are inconsistent. Individuals have been found to respond to stress with either reduced (hypophagia) or increased food intake (hyperphagia) [6,8,9].…”

Issue addressed: One of the biggest concerns for human health in the 21st century is the ever-increasing rate of obesity and its associated budgetary implications for publicly funded health care service provisioning. This study at the outset explores the multifaceted nature of food-related consumption choices and outcomes of obesity, and later offers suggestions to improve the existing interventional strategies to curtail the epidemic. Methods: A total of 24 participants were recruited through poster invitations placed around the greater metropolitan area of Auckland, New Zealand. Participants shared their health care intervention program experiences through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed in keeping with traditions of constructivist grounded theory. Findings: Analysis revealed various concurrent individually acting and ecologically mediated processes which led to obesogenic outcomes as a result of social actors' (participants) engagement in acts of (food-related) consumption practices. Conclusions: This study helps to illustrate the underlying, multifaceted processes that lead to obese individuals feeling defeated or disempowered and categorically willing, yet unable to bring about healthy changes in their lives. We hope this study will prompt health care practitioners to take a holistic approach while conceiving and deploying health care intervention programs. So what?: Current health care interventional programs are not achieving optimum solutions for those in need. All future programs need to acknowledge the roles played by an individual, as well as ecological factors, while deploying client-centric intervention solutions. Perhaps these programs are in need of a team-based approach to offer a truly "wrap-around" service provisioning strategy, rather than the traditional oneon-one consultative approaches in use at current times.

People's lifestyles have changed dramatically during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, yet data on physical examinations in the Chinese population before and during the pandemic are rarely reported. The study was based on the data from the physical examination center of Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. We collected the data of physical examinations information between January 2017 and March 2022. The data of participants before December 31, 2019 were classified as “before COVID‐19 pandemic group,” while data after December 31, 2019 were classified as “during COVID‐19 pandemic group.” We used t‐test and χ2 test to compare the differences before and during COVID‐19 pandemic. A total of 72 257 individuals participated in the physical examinations, and finally retained 65 629 individuals for analysis. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, body mass index (BMI), high‐density lipoprotein, total cholesterol levels, as well as pulmonary nodule and thyroid nodule proportion of participants were higher than those before the pandemic, and the levels of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of participants were lower than those before the pandemic. Ongoing assessment and surveillance are necessary to assess whether lifestyle changes caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic are likely to increase chronic disease risk in the future.
