La pandemia de COVID-19 ha impactado en varios aspectos de la vida a nivel mundial. Se analizó la influencia de la pandemia en el interés público por la seguridad alimentaria, los comportamientos dietéticos, los nutrientes y las hierbas relacionados con la inmunidad, y los estilos de vida en Paraguay, utilizando datos de Google Trends desde diciembre de 2019 hasta diciembre de 2020. Se obtuvieron los volúmenes de búsqueda relativos para palabras clave seleccionadas y se correlacionaron utilizando el coeficiente de correlación de orden de rango de Spearman. Se observó una correlación positiva entre las búsquedas relacionadas con el COVID-19 y el interés por la seguridad y la higiene alimentarias. Los términos relacionados con el comportamiento alimentario mostraron correlaciones mixtas, con una correlación negativa para "Yoga" y positiva para "Hierro". Los términos relacionados con el estilo de vida en interiores, como "Netflix" y "Receta", mostraron correlaciones positivas con las búsquedas relacionadas con el coronavirus, mientras que los términos relacionados con el estilo de vida en exteriores, como "Hotel", "Parque" y "Resort", mostraron correlaciones negativas muy fuertes. Los nutrientes y hierbas relacionados con la inmunidad, en particular "Cebolla" y "Cúrcuma", mostraron correlaciones positivas de fuertes a moderadas con términos relacionados con COVID-19. Estos resultados sugieren que la pandemia ha influido en el interés público por diversos aspectos de las conductas alimentarias y los estilos de vida, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad de estrategias y políticas de comunicación adaptadas para promover la resiliencia y la equidad durante las crisis sanitarias.
