“…However, when comparing the percentage increases for the two rates, obesity was higher. This finding is similar to the global trend of increasing obesity [25] and may reflect changes in lifestyle in a society that works 24 h a day [26].…”

Introduction: Obesity is considered a growing public health problem by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and a global epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the prevalence of adult obesity at 31.9% in the U.S. The U.S. is one of the main destinations for Brazilian immigrants in search of better living conditions, and Massachusetts is one of the states with the highest presence of Brazilians. Changes in lifestyle and eating habits are often associated with increases in overweight and obesity in immigrants in the U.S., especially Hispanics, an official classification that does not, however, include Brazilians. The aim of this study is to describe the temporal trend of overweight and obesity in Brazilian immigrants assisted by the Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) health care network in Massachusetts. Methods: Ecological time series study of 128,206 records of Brazilians aged between 18 and 60 years based on hospital data from 2009 to 2020. Results: Mean age was 38.9 (sd=10.6) and 61% of the sample were women. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 38.4% and 25.4%, respectively. Obesity exhibited an increasing trend, while eutrophy and overweight decreased during the study period. Conclusion: As little is known about the health of Brazilian immigrants in the U.S., this study contributes to the literature on the subject. The observed increasing trends agree with the worldwide increase in obesity and indicate the need for future research exploring individual factors associated to immigrant acculturation.

“…More specifically, research is needed from employees' perspectives as they need to acclimatize to the new telework norm. Though there is evidence of recent research in the context of teleworking during the pandemic (see Belzunegui-Eraso and Erro-Garc es, 2020; Choudhary et al, 2021;Fischer et al, 2021;Sako, 2021), there are a plethora of issues that need to be examined to develop a well-informed telework ecosystem. Thus, the present study examines the impact of employees' perceptions of trust in management on their performance mediated by psychological well-being as they telework against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic and technological advancements have enabled employees to telework. Referring to this emerging phenomenon, the authors aim to examine how employees' levels of trust in management mediated by psychological well-being impact their performance as they telework. Deploying the theoretical lens of person-environment misfit, the authors also explore the role of technostress in the trust-wellbeing-performance relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected from 511 full-time service sector employees across Indian organizations through a structured survey questionnaire. The proposed moderation-mediation model for this study was tested using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method.FindingsStructural equation modeling results indicate that trust in management significantly impacts employee performance while teleworking. While psychological well-being was observed as a significant mediator, technostress played the moderator role in the trust-performance relationship. The moderated-mediation effect of psychological well-being in the trust-performance relationship was stronger when technostress was low and weaker when technostress was high.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors extend the person-environment misfit theory in the context of telework, highlighting the role of technostress that may impact the trust-wellbeing- performance relationship in such work settings.Practical implicationsThe study informs leaders and managers on balancing delicate aspects such as employee trust and well-being that significantly impact performance as they telework. The authors also highlight the critical role of managers in respecting employees' personal and professional boundaries to alleviate technostress.Originality/valueThe authors make a novel theoretical contribution to the emerging literature on teleworking by examining the trust-psychological wellbeing-performance link and the role of technostress in this relationship.

“…Finally, a factor that occurred a lot in the pandemic was the changes in work arrangements that led to the intensification of flexible work in its various forms [22] . Perhaps this lack of routine in relation to the work schedules imposed by the lockdown may have led to a greater sleep complaint in the individuals in the present study who reported working in bed, in addition to greater exposure to light in the moments before bed.…”
