Introduction: COVID-۱۹ has changed all the routine works of human beings around the globe. The food habits of the elderly are changing due to various reasons. The purpose of this study was to find out the factors influencing food habit changes due to the pandemic.
Methods: A non-experimental research design, a survey, was executed at Sachibunia, Nijkhamr, Krishnonagar, and Raingamari villages under Batiaghata Upazila in the Khulna District of Bangladesh. Following a simple random sampling technique, data were collected through a field survey using an interview schedule. To show the relations between/among the variables, the chi-square/Fisher exact test was performed. For measuring the degree of relations of those variables, Binary Logistic Regression was used to find out the factors of food habit changes with a ۹۵% confidence interval. For the model, p < ۰.۰۵ was considered statistically significant.
Results: The study reveals that ۳۹% of the elderly changed their food habits during COVID-۱۹. Except for the sex and employment status of the elderly, all the sociodemographic factors of this study were associated with food habit changes. Among these sociodemographic factors, age (OR = ۲.۵۱, ۹۵% CI, ۱.۲۲-۵.۱۸), religion (OR = ۲.۰۷, ۹۵% CI, ۱.۱۳-۳.۷۸), spouses' occupation (OR = ۳.۷۳, ۹۵% CI, ۱.۹۰-۷.۳۲), and family head (OR = ۳.۷۴, ۹۵% CI, ۱.۴۳-۹.۷۵) of the elderly influenced their food habits changes.
Conclusion: The socio-demographic and economic situations were responsible for the elderly’s food habits changes.
