“…Within the participants, the quality of life observed was impaired. Previous studies have reported the association between obesity and quality of life, showing negative aspects; since the greater the severity of the disease and its comorbidities, the greater the damage to the quality of life of patients ( 14 , 29 ) . There are still few studies that address the consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic had on patients with obesity.…”

“…Regarding the responses obtained in the social, environmental, and physical domains of the quality of life questionnaire, we found that they corroborate data from studies in which researchers evaluated the quality of life of patients in the pre- and post-bariatric surgery periods. Patients showed dissatisfaction with the physical environment, related to safety and leisure issues ( 14 , 29 , 34 ) . It is suggested that the quality of life of candidates for bariatric surgery is impaired, as excess weight negatively affects self-esteem ( 14 ) .…”

“…Obesity is also correlated with a worsening in the quality of life of individuals, as the higher their BMI, the greater the possibility that the patient will experience pain, functional incapacities and decreased muscle strength ( 13 ) . Thus, the assessment of this relationship can be done through an instrument that analyzes several domains of quality of life, which has adequate psychometric characteristics and requires little time to be completed: this is the WHOQOL-Bref quality of life questionnaire, already applied in a population similar to the one in this study ( 14 ) .…”

“…Obesity is also related to emotional and cognitive eating behavior, which is more pronounced in patients in the preoperative period of bariatric surgery, when compared to those in the postoperative period of the same surgery ( 15 ) . The alterations in eating habits usually present in people with obesity are the attempt to control eating, also known as cognitive restraint; lack of eating control, or loss of self-control, which implies an exaggerated consumption of food and emotional eating, or desire to eat due to emotional and external factors ( 14 - 15 ) . From this perspective, the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-21) was applied to assess cognitive restriction, disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger in adults ( 16 ) .…”

Objective: to verify the quality of life and eating habits of patients with obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: cross-sectional study with 68 outpatients, candidates for bariatric surgery, at university hospital in the Southern Brazil. Data collection was carried out by telephone, with questions about the profile of the participants and social distancing; questionnaires on quality of life and eating habits were also used. The data analysis, the logistic regression model, Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U and Student t-tests were used for independent samples. Results: the general quality of life was 57.03 points and the eating habit with the highest score was cognitive restraint (61.11 points). Most patients (72.1%) were socially distancing themselves and 27.9% had not changed their routine. The chance of isolation was 3.16 times greater for patients who were married. There is a positive correlation between the domains of the Quality of Life questionnaire and cognitive restraint from the questionnaire about eating habits. Conclusion: we found that the participants tended to have a better quality of life as cognitive restraint increased.
