Abstract(s)
A quarentena, voluntária ou obrigatória, suscita transformações inevitáveis no estilo de vida. A presente revisão narrativa da literatura visa estudar os hábitos alimentares adotados durante pandemias e epidemias com repercussões mundiais. Enquanto antigamente as doenças infeciosas eram predominantes em indivíduos desnutridos por escassez de alimento, hoje afetam desnutridos devido a hábitos alimentares excessivos e desequilibrados. A Gripe Espanhola originou grande escassez de alimento e insegurança alimentar. A Gripe das Aves e a Gripe A não afetaram hábitos no consumo da carne e ovos, apesar do impacto no setor alimentar. Tanto a Gripe A como a COVID-19 foram exacerbadas pela elevada prevalência de doenças crónicas, nomeadamente a obesidade. A atuação do nutricionista em contexto pandémico ou epidémico, é crucial por promover, junto da população, a adoção de um estilo de vida saudável, principalmente hábitos alimentares, como medida preventiva.
Quarantine, voluntary or mandatory, causes inevitable changes in lifestyle. This narrative review of literature aims to study the eating habits adopted during pandemics and epidemics with worldwide repercussions. While in the past, infectious diseases were prevalent in individuals malnourished due to food shortages, today they affect malnourished people due to excessive and unbalanced eating habits. The Spanish flu caused great food shortages and food insecurity. Bird flu and influenza A did not affect meat and egg consumption habits, despite the impact on the food sector. Both Influenza A and COVID-19 were exacerbated by the high prevalence of chronic diseases, including obesity. The role of the nutritionist in a pandemic context is crucial for promoting the population to adopt a healthy lifestyle, mainly healthy eating habits, as a preventive measure
