This study aimed to determine changes in nutrition and physical activity in adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. The population of this descriptive-cross-sectional study consists of adults between the ages of 18-64. The data was collected online using the "Personal Information Form" and "Nutrition and Physical Activity Change Survey" between February and April 2021, after receiving the approval of the Ministry of Health and the ethics committee. Data were evaluated by number, percentage and chi-square test. According to the results, 78.1% of the participants were women, 24% were married and 10.7% had a chronic disease. During the COVID-19 epidemic, 50.2% had a decrease in physical activity time, 70.5% had a decrease in sedentary time, 44.1% had an increase in body weight, and 43.7% had a decrease in junk food, snack and appetizer consumption. There was an increase. Participants stated that they did not engage in physical activity for various reasons such as lack of a suitable environment for sports, lack of time, and curfew. Obesity represents a critical global public health problem that continues to increase. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected individuals' daily lifestyles, leading to reduced physical activity opportunities and weight changes for many. To minimize the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on non-communicable chronic diseases, it is crucial to prioritize efforts to inform and counsel adults on adopting healthy nutrition and physical activity practices.

COVID-19 Salgını Sırasında Yetişkinlerde Beslenme ve Fiziksel Aktivitedeki Değişikliklerin Belirlenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışma, COVID-19 salgını sırasında yetişkinlerde beslenme ve fiziksel aktivitede meydana gelen değişiklikleri belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel nitelikteki bu çalışmanın evrenini 18-64 yaş arası yetişkinler oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Sağlık Bakanlığı ve etik kurul onayı alındıktan sonra Şubat-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Beslenme ve Fiziksel Aktivite Değişikliği Anketi” kullanılarak çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Veriler sayı, yüzde ve ki-kare testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre katılımcıların %78,1'i kadın, %24'ü evli ve %10,7'sinin kronik hastalığı vardı. COVID-19 salgını sırasında %50,2'sinin fiziksel aktivite süresinde azalma, %70,5'inde hareketsiz kalma süresinde azalma, %44,1'inde vücut ağırlığı artışı ve %43,7'sinde abur cubur, atıştırmalık ve meze tüketiminde artış görülmüştür. Katılımcılar, spor yapmak için uygun ortamın olmaması, yeterli zamanın olmaması, sokağa çıkma yasağı gibi çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı fiziksel aktivite yapmadıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Obezite, artmaya devam eden kritik bir küresel halk sağlığı sorununu temsil etmektedir. COVID-19 salgını, bireylerin günlük yaşam tarzını önemli ölçüde etkileyerek, birçok kişinin fiziksel aktivite fırsatlarının azalmasına ve kilo değişimlerine yol açtı. COVID-19 salgınının bulaşıcı olmayan kronik hastalıklar üzerindeki uzun vadeli etkisini en aza indirmek için yetişkinleri sağlıklı beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite uygulamalarını benimseme konusunda bilgilendirme ve danışmanlık çabalarına öncelik vermek çok önemlidir.
