El distanciamiento social por COVID-19 puede ser una experiencia asociada a emociones desagradables y estrés, capaz de exacerbar la ingesta emocional de comida y bebidas alcohólicas como forma de afrontamiento. Con el objetivo de explorar la conducta alimentaria y el consumo de alcohol durante el distanciamiento social por COVID-19 e identificar las variables psicosociales asociadas a dichas conductas, se diseñó un estudio transversal exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional, con aplicación de una encuesta en línea, a una muestra no probabilística de 1110 mexicanos. A partir del análisis de regresión lineal múltiple, se encontró que las variables: estrés, conductas negativas, ansiedad, sexo femenino, convivencia con un familiar con diagnóstico de COVID-19 y lugar de residencia en el interior de la República Mexicana son factores que predicen el consumo excesivo de comida durante el distanciamiento físico, mientras que el apoyo social es un factor protector (R2= .286). Por otra parte, el modelo para el consumo de alcohol durante la cuarentena incluyó las variables estrés y ansiedad como predictores, así como sexo femenino, edad, ocupación y distracción como factores protectores (R2= .205). Se concluyó que las variables psicosociales identificadas posibilitan el diseño de estrategias de intervención orientadas a mitigar y/o potenciar el efecto de dichas variables sobre la conducta alimentaria y el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas en situaciones altamente estresantes como la crisis sanitaria actual.
Social distancing due to COVID-19 may be an experience associated with unpleasant emotions and stress that can exacerbate emotional eating and excessive alcohol use as a way of coping. In order to explore eating and drinking behavior during physical distancing due to COVID-19 and to identify the psychosocial variables associated with these behaviors, an exploratory, descriptive, and correlational cross-sectional study was designed, with the application of an online survey. The non-probability sample consisted of 1,110 Mexicans. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that the variables: stress, negative behaviors, anxiety, female gender, living with a relative with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and place of residence outside Mexico City and of State of Mexico are factors that predict the excessive food consumption, while social support is a protective factor (R2 = .286). On the other hand, the model for excessive alcohol use during social distancing included the variables: stress and anxiety as predictors, as well as female gender, age, occupation and distraction as protective factors (R2 = .205). It was concluded that the identified psychosocial variables might contribute to the design of intervention strategies aimed at mitigating and / or enhancing the effect of these variables on eating and drinking behavior in highly stressful situations, such as the current health crisis.
