Body Composition and Dietary Intake Changes in Postmenopausal Spanish Women before and after the COVID-19 Lockdown

The current study examined changes in body composition and dietary intake of healthy Spanish postmenopausal before and after the COVID-19-related lockdown. Sixty-six women participated in the study (58.7 ± 5.4 years). Participants had a full bioelectrical impedance study (BIA) before (between July–October 2019) and after (August–October 2020) the lockout, which occurred because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. No statistically significant differences were observed in the body composition of the participants. The assessment of dietary intake of protein, fat and carbohydrates before and after the confinement period also showed no significant changes. It does not appear that there have been changes in the body composition of the postmenopausal women studied or in their dietary habits in the studied period.
