          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción. La elección de los alimentos en época de confinamiento están influenciadas por múltiples factores como pueden ser la disponibilidad alimentaria que puede verse reducida y que constituyó uno de los principales retos a afrontar por los gobiernos en las pandemias pasadas, el estatus económico familiar que puede variar, así como el propio hecho del confinamiento que proporciona al grupo familiar de más tiempo para dedicar a la preparación de distintos platos pero también les sitúa en una situación que puede ser vivida como estresante y conducir a pautas distintas de consumo alimentario. Objetivo. Conocer el patrón dietético habitual, es decir previo al confinamiento recabando esta información en el momento en que se iniciaba aquel. Método. Estudio observacional transversal mediante encuesta alimentaria telemática anónima en línea que monitorizó la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en tiempo real en 492 adultos de España en la pandemia por covid19 durante la segunda quincena del mes marzo 2020. Resultados. Nuestro estudio muestra que el grado de adherencia a la DM en la primera parte del confinamiento ha sido elevado, mostrando una puntuación de 10.0 ± 2.0 en el test de MEDAS y de 9.3± 2.1 en el PREDIMED modificado. En concreto en nuestro estudio un 77% de la población estudiada presenta una alta adherencia a la dieta mediterránea frente a moderada adherencia el 22,4%y baja el 5%. Conclusiones. Nuestro estudio refleja una alta adherencia de los participantes a la Dieta Mediterránea.

          Abstract Introduction. The choice of food in times of confinement is influenced by multiple factors such as food availability that may be reduced and that constituted one of the main challenges to be faced by governments in past pandemics, the family economic status that can vary, as well as the fact of confinement that provides the family group with more time to dedicate to preparing different dishes but also places them in a situation that can be experienced as stressful and lead to different patterns of food consumption. Objective. To know the usual dietary pattern, that is, prior to confinement, collecting this information at the time it began. Method. Cross-sectional observational study using an anonymous online telematic food survey that monitored adherence to the Mediterranean diet in real time in 492 adults from Spain in the pandemic by covid19 during the second half of March 2020. Results. Our study shows that the degree of adherence to DM in the first part of confinement has been high, showing a score of 10.0 ± 2.0 in the MEDAS test and 9.3 ± 2.1 in the modified PREDIMED. Specifically, in our study, 77% of the studied population had a high adherence to the Mediterranean diet, compared to a moderate adherence in 22.4% and a low adherence in 5%. Conclusions. Our study reflects a high adherence of the participants to the Mediterranean Diet.

            Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease with a Mediterranean diet.

            Observational cohort studies and a secondary prevention trial have shown an inverse association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular risk. We conducted a randomized trial of this diet pattern for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events. In a multicenter trial in Spain, we randomly assigned participants who were at high cardiovascular risk, but with no cardiovascular disease at enrollment, to one of three diets: a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts, or a control diet (advice to reduce dietary fat). Participants received quarterly individual and group educational sessions and, depending on group assignment, free provision of extra-virgin olive oil, mixed nuts, or small nonfood gifts. The primary end point was the rate of major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes). On the basis of the results of an interim analysis, the trial was stopped after a median follow-up of 4.8 years. A total of 7447 persons were enrolled (age range, 55 to 80 years); 57% were women. The two Mediterranean-diet groups had good adherence to the intervention, according to self-reported intake and biomarker analyses. A primary end-point event occurred in 288 participants. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios were 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 0.92) and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.54 to 0.96) for the group assigned to a Mediterranean diet with extra-virgin olive oil (96 events) and the group assigned to a Mediterranean diet with nuts (83 events), respectively, versus the control group (109 events). No diet-related adverse effects were reported. Among persons at high cardiovascular risk, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or nuts reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events.

              Changes in Weight and Nutritional Habits in Adults with Obesity during the “Lockdown” Period Caused by the COVID-19 Virus Emergency

              Our aim is evaluating the changes in weight and dietary habits in a sample of outpatients with obesity after 1 month of enforced lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Italy. In this observational retrospective study, the patients of our Obesity Unit were invited to answer to a 12-question multiple-choice questionnaire relative to weight changes, working activity, exercise, dietary habits, and conditions potentially impacting on nutritional choices. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to evaluate the associations among weight/BMI changes and the analyzed variables. A total of 150 subjects (91.5%) completed the questionnaire. Mean self-reported weight gain was ≈1.5 kg (p < 0.001). Lower exercise, self-reported boredom/solitude, anxiety/depression, enhanced eating, consumption of snacks, unhealthy foods, cereals, and sweets were correlated with a significantly higher weight gain. Multiple regression analyses showed that increased education (inversely, β = −1.15; 95%CI −2.13, −0.17, p = 0.022), self-reported anxiety/depression (β = 1.61; 0.53, 2.69, p = 0.004), and not consuming healthy foods (β = 1.48; 0.19, 2.77, p = 0.026) were significantly associated with increased weight gain. The estimated direct effect of self-reported anxiety/depression on weight was 2.07 kg (1.07, 3.07, p < 0.001). Individuals with obesity significantly gained weight 1 month after the beginning of the quarantine. The adverse mental burden linked to the COVID-19 pandemic was greatly associated with increased weight gain.
