The Relationship between Pandemic-Related Anxiety, Eating Behaviors, and Life Satisfaction

Öz

Aim: The objective of the study was to examine the correlation between coronavirus anxiety, healthy eating, eating attitudes, and life satisfaction among adults.
Method: The research was carried out using an online survey with 408 participants aged 18– 65 years (mean age: 34.43±9.92). It was utilized Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition(ASHN), the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R21), and Satisfaction with Life Scale in Adults (SWLS-A).
Results: The total scores of the CAS, ASHN, TFEQ-R21, and SWLS-A scales were found to be statistically significantly higher in women compared to men (p<0.05). When a cut off score of ≥9 was applied for the CAS, a statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the CAS and the total score of the TFEQ-R21, as well as its subscales Cognitive Restraint (CR) and Emotional Eating (EE) (p<0.05). In addition, weak positive correlations were detected between ASHN and SWLS-A and between CAS and TFEQ-R21 (p<0.05). A weak negative correlation was found between TFEQ-R21 and SWLS-A (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results suggest that pandemic-related anxiety was higher particularly among women and that higher anxiety levels were linked to increased cognitive restraint and emotional eating behaviors. Moreover, healthy eating attitudes were positively related to life satisfaction, whereas problematic eating behaviors were negatively associated.
