Eating Behaviour Changes during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies

Eating behaviour is a complex construct that is liable to be modified by external factors. Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many restrictive measures were carried out with the aim of reducing the impact of this disease. As a result, lifestyles were disrupted, which could a...
