Súhrn: This study aimed to determine the food security of adult individuals living in Istanbul during the pandemic and the factors affecting food security. The study included 842 adults aged 18–64 years. Sociodemographic, general health information, dietary habits, 24-hour dietary recall, food security status and sleep quality data of the participants were collected. Factors such as marital status, education level, health insurance, total household income, income status evaluated by the individual, the amount of monthly income allocated to food, changes in nutritional status and physical activity during the pandemic process and sleep quality were found to affect food security. The nutritional status of individuals with food insecurity changed negatively during the pandemic, and these individuals experienced worse sleep quality. The dietary carbohydrate and fat percentages, total fibre, soluble fibre, insoluble fibre, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, sodium, potassium and phosphorus amounts of the participants showed significant differences according to food security status. The risk of food insecurity was high during the pandemic, and lifestyle factors that are crucial for health, such as nutrition, sleep quality and physical activity, were negatively affected in individuals with food insecurity.
