Abstract
Objective. To estimate the frequency of consumption of some recommended and non-recommended food groups during the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico, and their association with sociodemographic characteristics and food security. Materials and methods. We used the Survey on the Effects of Covid-19 on the wellbeing of Mexican households (Encovid-19). We identified four groups with information about the frequency of their consumption, and estimated logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and food security. Results. Higher socioeconomic levels A/B and C were associated with higher frequency of consumption of recommended and non-recommended food groups. Mild food insecurity was associated with lower consumption of recommended food groups, while moderate and severe food insecurity were associated with lower consumption of all food groups. Conclusions. Understanding the experience of food insecurity during a crisis as the pandemic of Covid-19, may indicate the need to expand public programs and include groups who are not traditional recipients.
