ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the weight gain during confinement due to the COVID 19 pandemic by applying a survey to beneficiaries. Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and comparative study. Non-probabilistic accidental sample of 400 participants. An epidemiological questionnaire was applied in the Family Medicine Unit No. 21 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Mexico City; between the months of August and September 2022. Results: Of the population studied, it was found that 58.7% perceived an increase in weight due to confinement during COVID-19 pandemic. Around 58.8% of the study population reported having been completely isolated; 68.3% reported having eaten more than three meals a day, 60.5% reported not having done physical activity during confinement, the average weight gain of the population studied was 6.8 kg. Conclusions: There was a perception of weight gain favored by confinement. The factors that most influenced this increase were: the increase in food consumption along with the lack of physical exercise. The perception of average weight gain in both sexes was greater than that reported in other similar international studies.
