Resumo
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges to public health, notably affecting the lifestyle and health of university students. Understanding the impacts of this period, particularly regarding weight gain, is essential to support institutional actions. The transition to remote learning substantially altered the behaviors of this population, already vulnerable to increasing obesity rates. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with weight gain among university students during the pandemic, emphasizing changes in lifestyle related to remote education. A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted between 2020 and 2021, involving 441 students from one of the largest public universities in Brazil. Body Mass Index (BMI) variations and associated factors were analyzed using multivariate linear regression. Prevalence of excess weight of 31% was identified, with BMI increases ranging from +0.30 to +14.20 kg/m². The main associated factor was reduced physical activity, regardless of exercise frequency. Pre-existing obesity, distorted body image perception, and lower body image satisfaction were also associated with weight gain. The findings highlight the urgent need for institutional policies that promote physical activity and positive body image, contributing to the comprehensive health and well-being of university students.
