This longitudinal study examines changes in adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) among Portuguese cohorts before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Adherence improved during lockdowns but declined post-pandemic, with increased red meat consumption and reduced physical activity. Findings stress the importance of targeted public health interventions to sustain MD adherence and promote healthier lifestyles.
