This is consistent with the findings of a previous study 38 which found an association between male sex and younger age and alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Objective Mental health is a global concern and needs to be studied more closely. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of mental disorders and their associated factors among the general population in Korea.Methods The National Mental Health Survey of Korea 2021 was conducted between June 19 and August 31, 2021 and included 13,530 households; 5,511 participants completed the interview (response rate: 40.7%). The lifetime and 12-month diagnosis rates of mental disorders were made using the Korean version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview 2.1. Factors associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD), nicotine use disorder, depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder were analyzed, and mental health service utilization rates were estimated.Results The lifetime prevalence of mental disorders was 27.8%. The 12-month prevalence rates of alcohol use, nicotine use, depressive, and anxiety disorders were 2.6%, 2.7%, 1.7%, and 3.1%, respectively. The risk factors associated with 12-month diagnosis rates were as follows: AUD: sex and age; nicotine use disorder: sex; depressive disorder: marital status and job status; anxiety disorder: sex, marital status, and job status. The 12-month treatment and service utilization rates for 12-month AUD, nicotine use disorder, depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder were 2.6%, 1.1%, 28.2%, and 9.1%, respectively.Conclusion Approximately 25% of adults in the general population were diagnosed with mental disorders during their lifetime. The treatment rates were substantially low. Future studies on this topic and efforts to increase the mental health treatment rate at a national level are needed.

“…It is thought that individuals with smoking and alcohol addiction will have a higher risk of unhealthy nutrition, and that being in quarantine at home for a long time during the pandemic will trigger these bad habits as a result of the psychological effects. In another study supporting this view, it was reported that cigarette and alcohol consumption increased during the pandemic, the nutritional quality of alcohol users was low and this situation would increase in depressed people (21).…”

Aim The research was intended to determine the nutritional habits and lifestyle change of nursing students before and during the pandemic of Covid-19. Method In the population of nursing department students at a public university in Istanbul, between January 2020 and December 2021 the sample is formed by 548 students who agreed to participate in the research and filled out the survey questions. Student Diagnosis Form and Nutritional Habits Index were used to collect the data. Results During the pandemic period, 71.2% of students eat three main meals, 56.9% have the habit of eating at night, 21.4% use vitamins, 40.5% do physical activity, 13% smoke, 7.7% drink alcohol and 76.5% have sleep disorders. Compared to the pre-pandemic period, it was observed that the risky eating behaviors of the students decreased during the pandemic and there were moderately risky eating behaviors (p = 0.000). In addition, students in the fourth grade (p = 0.015), non-smokers (p = 0.000), non-alcoholic (p = 0.030), those who did not gain weight during the pandemic (p = 0.015), those who did not skip meals (p = 0.002), and those who did not eat at night (p = 0.030). =0.000), those who doing exercise (p = 0.010), those who do not have sleep problems (p = 0.000) have less risky eating behaviors. Conclusion students' physical inactivity, night eating habits and sleep disorders have increased during the pandemic period. Those who do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, do not skip meals, do not gain weight, do not eat at night, exercise and have less risky eating behaviors during the pandemic period.

The growing prevalence of food insecurity observed in the last years, has been favored by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to mental health issues, such as stress. We aim to analyze the prevalence of household food insecurity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and its association with perceived stress. We analyzed data from two population-based studies conducted in 2019 and 2020-2021 in the municipality of Criciúma, State of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Food insecurity and perceived stress were assessed with the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale. The covariables were sex, age, skin color, schooling level, income, job status, marital status, household crowding, overweight, and diet quality. Crude and adjusted associations between food insecurity and perceived stress were assessed using Poisson regression. A total of 1,683 adult individuals were assessed. Prevalence of food insecurity was 25.8% in 2019, decreasing to 21.6% in 2020. Prevalence of perceived stress was about 38% for both years. Before the pandemic, food insecurity increased the prevalence of perceived stress by 29% (PR = 1.29; 95%CI: 1.02; 1.63), but no association was found during COVID-19. We found a worrying prevalence of food insecurity before and after de pandemic, nonetheless food insecurity and perceived stress were associated only in 2019. An assessment of these aspects after COVID-19 is needed to ensure basic life rights for all.
