Resumo
Background: The COVID 19 pandemic impacted the health and well-being of different
populations around the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in the daily habits
of Brazilians before and during two moments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A longitudinal
study in which an online questionnaire (sleeping time, alcohol consumption, smoking, use of screen
devices, physical activity, and dietary patterns) was applied at three moments. Results: The frequency
of alcohol consumption, smoking, and sleep hours did not change significantly at different times.
For the number of alcoholic beverages, there was a reduction in consumption from T0 to T1 and
an increase from T1 to T2. There was a significant increase in hours of screen device use from T0
to T1, remaining high at T2. Finally, the level of physical activity in minutes reduced from T0 to
T1, returning to base levels at T2. As for eating habits, there was an increase in the frequency of
consumption of instant meals, fast food, and sweets at the first moment, with a significant reduction
at the second moment. The consumption of legumes, milk and dairy products, bakery products, and
meats was higher at T2. Conclusions: Some habits returned to or approached T0 levels. However,
other habits remained unchanged, such as screen time and frequency of consumption of some food
groups, throughout the last evaluation.
