SUMMARY:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the main forms of control came from the implementation of public health measures, such as social distancing, promoting a complete change in the daily routine and lifestyle habits of the entire Brazilian population, including university students. Knowing this, it is important to understand how these new daily habits affected the lifestyle of this group. In Chapter One of this dissertation, an integrative review was carried out on the lifestyle of the Brazilian population during the COVID-19 pandemic, with regard to diet, physical activity, alcohol drinking, tobacco use and sleep. The search was carried out in the following databases: SciELO, LILACS, and CAPES Periodicals Portal. In the searches, 164 articles were found and six of them were selected. The total sample was 85,289 participants, the majority of whom were women. The prevalence of physical inactivity increased, the frequency of consumption of healthy foods decreased and the consumption of unhealthy foods increased. In addition to increasing alcohol intake, tobacco use, and starting to have sleep problems. In Chapter Two, social distancing, nutrition, and physical activity were analyzed during the COVID-19 pandemic in students at the Federal University of Southern Bahia (UFSB). This is an epidemiological, observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. 91 university students participated in this study, the majority of whom were men (63.7%), mixed race (49.4%) and 60.5% were not students in the health field. Regarding social distancing, 81.3% of participants were in social isolation. The consumption of fruits and vegetables increased during the period of social distancing and there was a decrease in the level of physical activity among those who carried out such activities. In Chapter Three, the objective was to analyze the association between social distancing and the lifestyle of university students at Brazilian higher education institutions (HEIs) during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an epidemiological, observational, descriptive, and crosssectional study. Data collection through an online form. The population of this study was made up of students from 11 HEIs. The data were tabulated and processed using an electronic spreadsheet and the PSPP software version 1.0.1. 3,555 university students participated in the study, the average age was 25.9, the majority of participants were from the northeast region, women, without a partner, and self-assessed their health as being good. Regarding social distancing, most university students had been social distancing for more than two months and reported that having open areas helps with social distancing. The items on the Individual Lifestyle Profile Scale and Pentacle of Wellbeing: in times of pandemic assessed as negative behavior were related to diet, physical activity, stress control, and relationships. In general, social distancing had a negative impact on the health of university students, but it can also impact and promote changes, such as in eating habits and preventive behaviors, mainly linked to the adoption of social distancing.
