Syfte: Syftet med denna enkätstudie var att undersöka om COVID-19 pandemin påverkade kostvanorna hos en grupp studenter på Malmö universitet. Material och metod: En kvantitativ enkätstudie om kostvanor under COVID-19 pandemin utfördes på studenter som studerade på distans på Malmö universitet. Enkäten omfattade 26 frågor om demografiska faktorer och kostvanor. Data samlades in med enkätprogrammet Sunet Survey och enkäten distribuerades elektroniskt till 826 studenter, varav 192 svarade på enkäten. Resultat: Enkätresultaten visade att en majoritet av deltagarna rapporterade förändringar av sina kostvanor under COVID-19 pandemin. En ökning av totala antal intag per dag påvisades. Hos en stor del av studenterna ökade konsumtionen av hemlagade måltider under distansstudierna. En stor andel av deltagarna rapporterade en ökad konsumtion av godis och choklad, medan konsumtionen av andra livsmedel som frukt, mjölkprodukter och sockerhaltiga pålägg var oförändrad. Ett stort antal av respondenterna ansåg att största anledningen till förändrade kostvanor var att de tillbringade mer tid hemma, hade lättare tillgänglighet till mat, dryck och snacks samt förändrade vardagsrutiner. Slutsats: Denna studie indikerar ändrade kostvanor under COVID-19 pandemin hos en majoritet av de studenter som deltog. Studien belyser även vikten av vidare forskning kring ämnet för att undersöka förändrade kostvanor i samband med samhällskriser och hur dessa potentiellt kan påverka kariesförekomsten. / Purpose: The aim of this survey was to investigate if the COVID-19 pandemic affected the dietary habits of a group of students at Malmö University. Materials and Methods: A quantitative survey study on dietary habits during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted on students who studied remotely during the pandemic at Malmö university. The survey consisted of 26 questions regarding demographic factors and dietary habits. Data was collected using Sunet Survey software, the survey was distributed electronically to 826 students, of which 192 responded to the survey. Results: The survey results showed that a majority of the participants reported changes in their dietary habits during the pandemic. An increase in the total number of daily intakes was demonstrated. Consumption of home-cooked meals was increased for a large proportion of the students during remote studies. A large proportion of the participants reported an increased consumption of candy and chocolate. Consumption of fruit, dairy products, and sugary spreads remained unchanged. A large number of respondents believed that the main reason for the changes in dietary habits was that they spent more time at home, had easier access to food, drinks, and snacks and had changed their daily routines. Conclusion: This study indicates changed dietary habits during the COVID-19 pandemic among a majority of the students who participated. The study also highlights the importance of further research on the subject to investigate changed dietary habits in connection with societal crises and how these can potentially affect the incidence of caries.
