Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on food habits, appetite and body weight in Tunisian adults

Saoussen Turki et al.

Summary: This study investigated the perception of changes in food habits, appetite, and body weight among Tunisian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that over half of the participants reported changes in their eating habits, with some increasing their consumption of healthy foods while others increased their consumption of unhealthy foods. Excessive consumption of tea, coffee, and herbal tea during the lockdown period was also reported. Additionally, nearly half of the participants reported weight gain. The study suggests that health policies should focus on promoting healthy eating habits, particularly among illiterate and young individuals, through mass media campaigns.
