“…Lockdown and corresponding social isolation also affected the dietary patterns of university students, which can lead to a higher frequency of excessive weight and obesity [13,21,22]. However, increased level of physical activity during lockdown was usually related to a healthier diet among university students [13].…”

Previous research showed that the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the wellbeing and lifestyle of populations worldwide, including eating and physical activity (PA) patterns. The present study aims to examine the mediating effect of orthorexia on the relationship between PA and fear of COVID-19. A sample of 473 university students from Poland of a mean age of 22 years (M = 22.04, SD = 2.90, 47% of women) participated in the cross-sectional online survey study. Continuous variables were measured using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and the Test of Orthorexia Nervosa (TON-17), while categorical variables divided participants into the physically active and inactive group regarding WHO criteria (150 min per week). Weak gender differences were found. Active people showed lower fear of COVID-19 and higher orthorexia scores than those inactive. Orthorexia was found as a suppressor variable, which increases the negative predictive value of PA on fear of COVID-19. The model of cooperative suppression explained 7% of FCV-19S. The mechanism of mediation showed that health-related behavior could help reduce fear of COVID-19, but caution is necessary for people with addictive behavior tendencies. Universities should support university students by offering programs focused on increasing healthy lifestyles and improving wellbeing.

“…Not only did the video illustrate the sanitary measures associated with food consumption, but it also provided an accurate representation of the pandemic scenario, touching on the negative burden that the pandemic has on mental health. Different levels of psychological distress are known to modify individuals’ relationship with food [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]). The effects of non-conscious odor, visual and auditory priming are observed in behavioral and lexical tasks investigating food perception [ 22 , 42 , 43 ], which supports our finding that sweet foods received higher evaluations when participants were primed with Non-Pandemic-related situations.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led to several lifestyle changes, including eating behavior. Herein, we aimed to evaluate how pandemic-related sanitary cues presented in food videos impact food appraisal and desire to eat, and their priming after-effects on subsequent food pictures presented without such cues. In two online sessions, separated by 4 to 7 days, participants watched either a Non-Pandemic or a Pandemic video of a woman eating, the latter containing sanitary elements adopted during the pandemic. The order of the videos was counterbalanced across participants over the two experimental sessions. Videos were followed by images of food from different categories. After observing both videos and each picture, participants were instructed to evaluate the visual aspect, expected smell and flavor, and rate their desire to eat. Our study demonstrated (1) higher hedonic responses to the Non-Pandemic compared to the Pandemic video, (2) a priming effect showing higher appreciation for sweet foods after the Non-Pandemic compared to the Pandemic video, (3) that food exposure gradually increases one’s desire to eat, but such effects are impacted by pandemic sanitary cues, and (4) greater hedonic responses are given for sweet and high-calorie foods compared to salty and low-calorie ones, irrespective of pandemic priming. Finally, depression and anxiety symptoms were associated with lower smell evaluations only in the Pandemic condition.

“…Tingginya kadar kortisol akan merangsang tubuh untuk mengeluarkan sistem insulin, leptin, dan system neuropeptide Y (NPY) yang akan membuat otak membangkitkan rasa lapar sehingga timbul keinginan makan, dan memilih makanan tinggi kalori dan lemak serta menyimpan kalori ekstra sebagai lemak di bagian perut (American Psychological Association, 2013). Penelitian di Brazil menyebutkan bahwa mahasiswa yang mengalami perubahan berat badan saat pandemi akibat pembatasan sosial, cenderung lebih banyak mengonsumsi makanan olahan (Santana et al, 2021) Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di Amerika, sebanyak 33% remaja mengonsumsi makanan berlebih karena makanan dapat membantu mengalihkan perhatian dari apa yang menyebabkan mereka stres, dan bahkan untuk mengelola stres (Yau & Potenza, 2013). Stres yang diwakili oleh masalah emosional dan kortisol harian yang tinggi menyebabkan adanya hiperleptinemia terutama pada anak perempuan; dan kombinasi stres tinggi dan hiperleptinemia mungkin membuat anak perempuan lebih rentan terhadap makan yang diinduksi stres.…”

Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian Santana et al (2021), bahwa mahasiswa yang stres cenderung mengonsumsi makanan olahan dan berdensitas tinggi (tinggi kalori dan lemak).…”

Covid-19, which has spread rapidly around the world, has resulted in changes in people's life activities because the government carried out large-scale restrictions to stop the spread of the virus. The increase in eating behavior results from changes in mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in students. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stress, depression, and anxiety with emotional eating and mindful eating in college students during the Covid19 pandemic. Many students experience emotional eating and are very emotional eaters. This research was conducted in September-October 2020 on 303 student subjects using the accidental sampling technique. Research data were obtained through questionnaires distributed online. The questionnaire consisted of characteristic data, changes in body weight and eating behavior, a modified DASS-21 questionnaire to measure stress, depression, and anxiety, EEQ (Emotional eating Questionnaire), and MEQ (Mindful eating Questionnaire). The data were processed univariately in frequency and percentage and bivariate analysis with an Ordinal Spearman Correlation with an error rate of 5%. In college students, stress, depression, and anxiety are relatively high, especially at the severe stage. Stress and depression were significantly related to mindful eating (p<0,05) but not to anxiety (p>0,05). The more stressed and depressed students tend to experience non-mindful eating.
