Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals altered dietary patterns and diminished food purchasing capacity in adults during lockdown, highlighting the need for targeted nutritional and economic support.

Key Points

To assess changes in multidimensional dietary patterns and identify their sociodemographic and behavioral determinants among adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey using snowball sampling among Bangladeshi adults aged 18 years and older via social media and email between December 10 and 17, 2020.
Evaluated 748 retained responses (from 817 initial submissions) using a semi-structured e-questionnaire analyzing sociodemographics and dietary shifts via bivariate and multivariate analyses.
Half of respondents (50.0%) reported reductions in body weight and physical activity, 52.0% experienced increased sleep duration, and 31.4% had decreased food purchasing capacity.
Females were 1.65 times more likely to reduce food consumption than males, and participants facing food-purchasing constraints were 2.31 times more likely to reduce food intake.
Employed individuals were 34% less likely to increase consumption compared to unemployed counterparts, and individuals sleeping more than 6 hours per day were 61% less likely to increase food consumption relative to those sleeping less than 6 hours.
