The objective of this study is to identify the prioritization in the purchase of food during the confinement of the Mexican population.
Observational, analytical and cross-sectional study of 1,081 participants living in Mexico; an online, voluntary and anonymous survey was conducted. Chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses were performed, and STATA 16 (Stata Corp LP) was used.
Significant differences were found according to nutritional status for sweets, fried foods, pizzas, sandwiches and sugary drinks. However, when these associations were adjusted for sociodemographic variables, they were no longer significant. It is shown that the high prioritization of tortillas increases the risk of being overweight and obese. When the analysis was conducted, this association was not significant. Nuts were directly associated with overweight or obesity. In contrast, bottled water is not directly linked to weight gain or loss.
Differences were found according to nutritional status in the prioritization of foods high in calories, fats, and sugars. However, this prioritization was different between people who did gain weight versus those who did not.
