Resumo
A pandemia da Covid-19 foi oficialmente declarada em março de 2020 e, a partir de então, diversas medidas comunitárias foram tomadas por gestores, empregadores e/ou líderes comunitários para proteger a população, que incluíram a restrição do funcionamento de diversos setores. Tais medidas resultaram em impactos no campo social, econômico, político, cultural e histórico, afetando a vida de inúmeras pessoas. As restrições impostas, em alguns indivíduos, desencadearam mudanças no estilo de vida, levando a comportamentos sedentários, má alimentação e contribuindo para o aumento dos níveis de ansiedade e estresse. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi avaliar os possíveis efeitos da pandemia da Covid-19 sobre o consumo alimentar, variáveis antropométricas, bioquímicas e sintomas comportamentais em indivíduos adultos. A amostra foi composta por 113 participantes, recrutados entre a comunidade acadêmica da Univates, em Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul. Entre os participantes, 78% eram do sexo feminino, 76,1% relataram que fizeram isolamento no início da pandemia Covid-19, em 2020, e, em relação ao relato de alteração do padrão alimentar, 75% relataram piora do padrão alimentar. Cento e cinco participantes preencheram os questionários de Beck sobre sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, sendo observado um escore médio de 12,2 pontos na escala de depressão e de 9,9 pontos na escala de ansiedade. Entre os participantes que fizeram isolamento, 59,3% relataram mudança no padrão alimentar e, quando questionados sobre o tipo de mudança, 74% referiu piora. A comparação entre os participantes que fizeram e não fizeram isolamento no início da pandemia demonstrou que os indivíduos que relataram isolamento eram estatisticamente mais jovens (p=0,01) e apresentaram uma maior frequência de relato de mudança de padrão alimentar (p=0.035). Não foram observadas diferenças significativas nas demais variáveis analisadas. Os resultados apontam para uma tendência de impacto na saúde mental e mudança do padrão alimentar, como mostra a literatura, destacando a necessidade de políticas de cuidados no âmbito de saúde mental e cuidados alimentares no período pós pandemia.
The Covid-19 pandemic was officially declared in March 2020 and, since then, several community measures have been taken by managers, employers and/or community leaders to protect the population, which have included restricting the operation of various sectors. Such measures resulted in impacts on the social, economic, political, cultural and historical fields, affecting the lives of countless people. The restrictions imposed, in some individuals, triggered changes in lifestyle, leading to sedentary behavior, poor diet and contributing to increased levels of anxiety and stress. The general objective of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on food consumption, anthropometric and biochemical variables and behavioral symptoms in adult individuals. The sample consisted of 113 participants, recruited from the academic community of Univates, in Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul. Among the participants, 78% were female, 76.1% reported that they were isolated at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2020, and, between subjects who underwent social isolation, 59,3% reported eatting pattern modification, out of which 74% related a worse pattern. One hundred and five participants completed the Beck questionnaires on anxiety and depression symptoms, with an mean score of 12.2 points on the depression scale and 9.9 points on the anxiety scale. Among participants who underwent isolation, 59.3% reported a change in eating pattern and, when asked about the type of change, 74% reported worsening. The comparison between participants who did and did not do isolation at the beginning of the pandemic showed that individuals who reported isolation were stattistically younger (p=0.01) and had a higher frequency of reporting changes in eating patterns (p=0.035). No significant differences were observed in the other analyzed variables. The results point to a trend of impact on mental health and change in dietary patterns, as shown in the literature, highlighting the need for care policies in the field of mental health and dietary care in the post-pandemic period.
