Resumen
SAEZ-OPAZO, Javiera et al. Risky eating behaviors in young adults from two communes of the Ñuble region, in Chile in the Covid-19 pandemic. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.2, pp.31-37. Epub 18-Abr-2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i2.5648.
Objective:
To analyze risky eating behaviors in relation to nutritional status and physical activity in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in the communes of Chillán and Chillán Viejo.
Methods:
Observational and cross-sectional design. A sample of 184 young adults of both sexes, who lived in two communes in the Ñuble region (Chile) during the period of confinement due to COVID-19 pandemic, was obtained. A personal history questionnaire and the SCOFF scale that assesses the risk of eating behavior disorders (EDs) were applied.
Results:
A 37.16% risk for ED was found (95% CI: 30.23 - 44.63%). The risk of eating behavior disorders was related to the variables: physical activity (p=0.01 bivariate analysis) and nutritional status (p=0.03, adjusted analysis).
Conclusion:
It was possible to identify a higher proportion than that recorded in the literature and the factors associated with eating disorders were those that were expected to be found.
