Objectives. Social media applications are widely used across different age groups and communities. Problematic use of social media (PMSU) is associated with depression among university students. There is a lack of data regarding the effect of studying pharmacy on the association between PMSU and depression as compared to other university disciplines. Methods. A cross sectional study using an online survey that recruited university students from different disciplines. PMSU was measured using Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS). Depression was assessed using patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Results. Data from 105 participants were collected with an average age of 19.88 SD=2.10 years. Forty-seven participants (44.8%) reported depression. Pharmacy students reported lower prevalence of depression as compared to other disciplines (35.7% and 62.9%; respectively). Social media addiction score (OR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.01-1.12) and pharmacy discipline (OR: 0.2; 95%: 0.02-0.66) were identified as independent predictors of depression. The extent of PMSU was similar between pharmacy and non-pharmacy students (49.8 and 52.7; respectively). Conclusion.Studying pharmacy may have a differential effect on the association between PMSU and the development of depression among undergraduate university students.

“…La relación entre las emociones y la conducta alimentaria (elección, calidad y cantidad) se considera bidireccional y es dependiente del contexto de cada persona, así como de la mutabilidad de la emoción en cuanto a frecuencia, excitación e intensidad, y depende de la variabilidad fisiológica (Barcia et al, 2019;Zafra, 2015). A partir de la neurobiología, se considera que el cerebro medio es el principal receptor emocional y que es mediante la comida que se regulan los estímulos emocionales (Palomino, 2020;Lazarevich et al, 2018).…”

“…También se realizó una pequeña exploración sobre cambios emocionales y su asociación con las modificaciones en los hábitos alimenticios de los participantes, al incluir preguntas sobre emociones con opciones de respuesta como depresión, estrés, ansiedad, cansancio y la opción "otro" (para que ellos pudieran identificar alguna otra emoción) y relacionarlas con su ingesta de alimentos en las categorías que a continuación se enumeran. Las categorías sobre emociones se basaron en otros estudios (López et al, 2017;Palomino, 2020;Lazarevich et al, 2018).…”

El confinamiento como medida de contención del SARS-CoV-2 tiene diversos efectos en el bienestar de las personas en el mundo. A partir de un estudio observacional, exploratorio y comparativo, en esta investigación se analizaron los cambios reportados en los hábitos alimenticios antes y durante el confinamiento entre estudiantes universitarios de la Ciudad de México. El objetivo fue dilucidar los posibles efectos que las modificaciones alimenticias por confinamiento tendrían en la susceptibilidad de contagio y complicaciones de la enfermedad en los sujetos de estudio. A pesar de que no se encontraron modificaciones significativas en términos de calidad nutricional, sí se identificó, tanto antes como durante el confinamiento y en general, una alimentación con perfil proinflamatorio asociada con una mayor probabilidad de contraer el virus y desarrollar complicaciones.
