Abstrakt: Besides the severe impact on the mortality rate in the world, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of having an optimal physical and mental health, since subjects with chronic diseases were the most affected. The aim of this review was to describe the consequences of nutritional and mental health during the beginning of the pandemic. In developing countries, such as Mexico, the prevalence of mental illnesses including depression, anxiety, stress, and suicide increased considerably. In addition, it was found an increase rate of sedentary lifestyles due to the confinement established as a preventive measure to avoid COVID-19 infections. Concerning eating habits, it was reported a decrease in fruits and vegetables consumption and an increase in energy-dense foods, as well as alcohol consumption or smoking, as compensatory measures for mental disorders of anxiety and depression. Based on the information we look up on the impact of COVID-19 on human health, we suggest as prevention measures multidisciplinary care strategies aimed at promoting mental health, diet, and physical activity habits in a comprehensive context. Likewise, information it is highlighted the importance of establishing care and monitoring programs for patients with chronic diseases, because this factor was decisive for mortality after COVID-19 infection.
