Resumo

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between food consumption and eating habits and food choice determinants in women during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey conducted in Brazil between June and September, 2020, during which time social distancing measures were in place. Results: Participants (n = 629) were aged 34.0 years and mostly within normal weight according to BMI (60.4%). ``Snacking{''} and ``liking{''} associated with increased energy (beta = 164.27 and beta = 110.24) and carbohydrate intake (beta = 1.97 and beta = 1.80), and with reduced protein intake (beta = -1.54 and beta = -1.18). In contrast, ``dieting{''} and ``weight control{''} associated with reduced energy (beta = -162.57 and beta = -111.49) and carbohydrate intake (beta = -2.78 and beta = -2.07), and with increased protein intake (beta = 3.78 and beta = 1.65). ``Dieting{''} (beta = 7.27), ``need and hunger{''} (beta = 3.34), and ``health{''} (beta = 4.94) associated with an increased consumption of unprocessed and minimally processed foods, whereas ``replacing main meals with snacks{''} (beta = -8.98), ``snacking{''} (beta = -6.92) and binge eating symptoms (beta = -0.34) associated with reduced consumption of foods within this processing level. In contrast, ``use of delivery services{''} (beta = 3.39), ``replacing main meals with snacks{''} (beta = 5.49), ``visual appeal{''} (beta = 2.17), ``social norms{''} (beta = 2.19) and ``affect regulation{''} (beta = 2.01) associated with increased ultraprocessed food consumption. Overall, associations were more frequent and pronounced when analyzing food consumption by processing level rather than by macronutrient intake. Conclusion: Some eating habits and food choice determinants ({''}snacking,{''} ``replacing meals with snacks,{''} ``use of delivery services{''}) observed during the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with an unhealthy diet (high energy and carbohydrate consumption, increased ultraprocessed food consumption and reduced unprocessed/minimally processed foods consumption) in Brazilian women.
