Due to the covid-19 pandemic, governments were forced to adopt lockdown policies to effectively control the pandemic. These restrictions increased anxiety, depression, and lifestyle changes. This systematic review aims to analyze changes in dietary patterns in the worldwide population during the covid-19 lockdown. 11 studies were selected from the 1412 founds after searching in three databases. Searching keywords were: “change dietary”, “covid-19 dietary”  “confinement dietary”, “lockdown dietary”. Inclusion criteria were: studies that collected people's dietary patterns during the COVID-19 lockdown and studies that recorded the consumption of major food groups and the variations in lifestyle habits. This research found that people increased their consumption of food, People increased their sedentary hours, slept more but exercised less, leading to gain weight during the lockdown, as well as a poorer sleeping quality and higher anxiety levels.
