SUMMARY:

The disease caused by the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) led to a pandemic declared by the
World Health Organization in 2020. Distancing strategies had adopted to minimize the
transmission and consequences of the disease because of the high transmissibility, the number
of deaths, and specific treatment's absence. That led to the daily activities adjustment to the
home environment,leading universities, teachers, and students to adapt to aremote teaching
and learning. The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences are stressful factors and, when
stressed, people can consume foods that help deal with stressors: comfort foods, those that cause
a feeling of comfort and warmth. The objective is to evaluate the association between stress
symptoms and the comfort foods consumption by university professors and undergraduate
students in Brazil from public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with face-to-
face activities suspended during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a online
study with people aged over 18 years, both sexes, enrolled or teaching professors in any face-
to-face undergraduate course. The data had collected between July 15 and August 30, 2020, the
period of the first wave of the pandemic in Brazil. Participantsprovided information about
demographic, socioeconomic, and health conditions; the practice of remote work and study
during the pandemic; mental health; self-reported weight and height, variation in comfort food
consumption. Association, confounding, effect modification, and multinomial logistic
regression analyses occurred. In the student group, all analyzes occurred by academic activity
(with or without remote academic activities). For teachers, this analysis occurred by gender
(female or male).
