Abstract

Obesity has been considered in multiple pandemics as a serious factor due to all that it entails pathophysiologically speaking (hypercoagulable state, low grade inflammatory response and hyperactivity of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System). The confinement caused by the increase in the number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Coronavirus type 2 causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) was the trigger for the acceleration and later, maintenance of the rates, worldwide, of overweight and obesity through negative changes in diet, the decrease in physical activity, the misuse of new technologies and what negative emotions and mental disorders entail. Those who already had a high Body Mass Index deteriorated impressively their condition and with it, they have reduced the years to present a Non-Communicable Disease, so much so that currently in our country again the Acute Myocardial Infarction is the first cause of mortality. For several researchers, the genesis of poor eating habits during the COVID-19 era is found in the mental health crisis, which includes increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression, as well as a negative body image. Therefore, this paper conducted the search for more recent articles, the consequences brought about in lifestyle by the COVID-19 pandemic, with emphasis on overweight and obese people COVID-19, mental health, habits, food security, physical inactivity.
