Abstract
Stress and anxiety are known to increase the likelihood of eating disorders. Because everyone was in lockdown, COVID19 was a big stress-inducer. Using this information, we collected data on the participant’s feelings before and after COVID19. We used R and Excel to perform correlations between the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) results from the data and found a significant increase in being concerned about weight after COVID19, feeling guilty after eating good food after COVID19, and feeling uncertain about the participant’s future after COVID19. These were all relative to feelings of anxiety the participants felt before COVID19. Using R, we constructed a multiple regression model with the data, which showed a statistically significant increase. Our multiple regression model also showed that the significant predictors were both after COVID19, demonstrating a negative impact of COVID19 on eating disorders.
