RESUMO
Introdução: Dificuldades de acesso aos alimentos e o distanciamento social desencadearam mais ansiedade, estresse e consumo de alimentos de baixo custo e ultraprocessados. Objetivo: Investigar as mudanças no comportamento alimentar e a relação deste com os aspectos socioeconômicos. Método: Estudo realizado virtualmente entre maio e junho de 2020 com 949 adultos, com questionários de dados socioeconômicos, mudanças no comportamento alimentar, frequência do consumo alimentar e o TFEQ-21. A análise foi realizada de forma descritiva e o TFEQ-21 de acordo com os escores de cada fator. A relação entre as variáveis foi analisada pelo teste de correlação de Pearson. Resultados: 63% consideraram cozinhar mais alimentos, 41% e 38% referiram maior possibilidade comer com companhia e com tranquilidade, respectivamente. Além disso, 38,6% reduziram compra de fast-food, mas 43,2% aumentaram o consumo alimentar e 41,8% o consumo de doces. Em mulheres, quanto maior o IMC, maior alimentação emocional e restrição cognitiva (p<0,001). Nestas, o comer emocional era maior se não possuíam filhos nem ensino superior (p<0,001), e a restrição era maior com a atividade física, não possuir relacionamento estável, ter filhos (p<0,001), emprego e ensino superior (p<0,05). Nos homens, o comer emocional se relacionou ao maior IMC (p<0,05) e ambas variáveis estavam relacionados à atividade física (p<0,001). Conclusão: Mudanças como cozinhar mais, reduzir fast-food, comer com tranquilidade e com companhia foram observadas comparados a antes da pandemia. Nota-se que nas mulheres há maior relação da restrição e do comer emocional com diversos aspectos do contexto social e econômico (AU).
Introduction: Difficulties in accessing food and social distancing triggered more anxiety, stress and consumption of low-cost and ultra-processed foods. Objective: To investigate changes in eating behavior and its relationship with socioeconomic aspects. Method: Study conducted virtually between May and June 2020 with 949 adults, with questionnaires on socioeconomic data, changes in eating behavior, frequency of food consumption and the TFEQ-21. The analysis was performed descriptively and the TFEQ-21 according to the scores of each factor. The relationship between the variableswas analyzed using Pearson's correlation test. Results: 63% considered cooking more food, 41% and 38% said they were more likely to eat with company and in peace, respectively. 38.6% reduced fast-food purchases, but 43.2% increased food consumption and 41.8% consumption of sweets. In women, the higher the BMI, the greater the emotional eating and cognitive restriction (p<0.001). In these, emotional eating was greater if they did not have children or higher education (p<0.001), and the restriction was greater with physical activity, not having a stable relationship, having children (p<0.001), employment and higher education (p<0.05). In men, emotional eating was related to higher BMI (p<0.05) and both variables were related to physical activity (p<0.001). Conclusion: Changes such as cooking more, reducing fast food, eating calmly and with company were observed compared to before the pandemic. It is noted that in women there is a greater relationship between restriction and emotional eating with various aspects of the social and economic context (AU).

This study aimed to explore the impact of anxiety and functional impairment measures on a sample of undergraduate psychology students. Learning performance was evaluated during the emergency remote teaching during the first wave and in the post-vaccination period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Data modeling revealed that psychometric indicators of severe anxiety and severe functional impairment predicted students with lower learning performance in pairs of pre- and post-test multiple-choice questions. This is the first study to highlight the association between measures of generalized anxiety and functional impairment having a deleterious impact on students' learning performance. This manuscript highlights that educational policies should be designed to deal with students' mental health under stressful situations.
