Adherence
Vulnerable populations, including those with diabetes, obesity, and low socioeconomic status, experienced more acute declines in nutritional quality and health during lockdowns compared to the general population.
If you have diabetes, obesity, or live in a high-deprivation area, lockdowns can severely impact your diet. You may experience more acute changes in eating behavior, such as increased consumption of unhealthy foods and decreased adherence to healthy diets. It is crucial to have targeted support and strategies to maintain nutrition during such times.
This information remains relevant for people without comorbidities but also for vulnerable groups such as the older population and people with obesity that have experienced more acute changes in their eating behaviour.
Why this rating
