ABSTRACT
This cross-sectional web-based study investigated the association of age, gender, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress with eating problems in Brazilian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 715 participants (237 men and 478 women) were recruited from all regions of Brazil. The instruments used were the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Eating Attitudes Test – 26 (EAT-26). Data analysis was conducted through the independent t test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Multiple regression showed that DASS total score made the largest positive contribution to EP for men (β = .17, p < .01) and women (β = .22, p < .001). The data showed significant differences between men and women for all variables (p < .001), indicating that women presented more symptoms in all variables. Our findings show that symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were associated whit risky behavior for EP in Brazilian adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.Alternate Este estudio transversal basado en la web investigó la asociación de edad, sexo y los síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés con los problemas alimentarios (PAs) en adultos brasileños durante la pandemia del coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Se reclutó un total de 715 participantes (237 hombres y 478 mujeres) de todas las regiones de Brasil. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés – 21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 [DASS-21]) y el Teste de Actitudes Alimentarias – 26 (Eating Attitudes Test – 26 [EAT-26]). El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante la prueba t independiente, la correlación de Pearson y el análisis de regresión múltiple. La regresión múltiple mostró que la puntuación total en DASS-21 contribuyó positivamente a los PAs en hombres (β = 0.17, p < 0.01) y mujeres (β = 0.22, p < 0.001). Los datos mostraron que las mujeres tenían más síntomas en todas las variables (p < 0.001). Los síntomas de DASS-21 se asocian con conductas de riesgo para PAs en adultos brasileños durante la pandemia de COVID-19.Alternate Este estudo transversal baseado na web investigou a associação de idade, sexo e sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e estresse com problemas alimentares (PAs) em adultos brasileiros durante a pandemia da coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de teste t independente, correlação de Pearson e análise de regressão múltipla. A regressão múltipla mostrou que a pontuação total na Dass-21 contribuiu positivamente para PAs em homens (β = 0,17, p < 0,01) e mulheres (β = 0,22, p < 0,001). Os dados mostraram que as mulheres apresentaram mais sintomas em todas as variáveis (p < 0.001). Assim, os sintomas da Dass-21 foram associados a comportamentos de risco para PAs em adultos brasileiros durante a pandemia da Covid-19.
